In the Medieval English village of Stonebridge, Lady Catherine (known as Birdy) is the youngest child of Lord Rollo and the Lady Aislinn. Her playground is Stonebridge Manor, a house that, like the family, has seen better days. Financially destitute and utterly greedy, Rollo sees his daughter as his path out of financial ruin by marrying her off to a wealthy man for money and land. But Birdy, like all the great teen heroines, is spirited, clever and adventurous – and ready to put off any suitor that comes calling in increasingly ingenious ways. Her imagination, defiance and deep belief in her own right to independence put her on a collision course with her parents. When the most vile suitor of all arrives, they are presented with the ultimate test of love for their daughter. Based on the YA novel by Karen Cushman.

Glossary
Wondering about the screenplay's origin? Here's what we know.
|
DUPLICATE
|
... | It's the same, but different. |
|
All right, so our understanding is that a professional screenwriter retyped the original script. Think of it as a modern-day "photocopy." So, that means you'll see all of the original author's spelling, grammatical, and/or formatting anomalies. |

|
FYC
|
... | For Your Consideration. |
|
When you see a script labelled as "FYC", it's as good as gold! FYC screenplays are made public each year during what is commonly referred to as "awards season." Rest assured, we got this right from the author or studio. |

|
ORIGINAL
|
... | Official, authentic, real. |
|
Like FYC screenplays, this is an official copy provided by the studio or original author. |
||
|
REPLICA
|
... | Unofficial reproduction. |
|
This is a tricky one to explain. On one hand, this screenplay is an unofficial copy. On the other, it's formatted and transcribed by a professional writer and not a fan. Basically, that's why we've chosen to list it. So, although the typesetting and dialogue may be accurate, the scenarios and action blocks are likely not the works of the original credited screenwriter. |

SCANNED
|
... | Digitized version of the screenplay-actual. |
|
Using a scanner, the paper version of the ORIGINAL script was digitized. Yep, it's that simple. |
