Event Description

Presented by Decadent Theatre Company Written by David Harrower | Directed by Andrew Flynn Blackbird is a heart-stopping confrontation between two people forever bonded by a shared experience that torments them both. This blistering two-hander boils theatre down to its most essential elements. After years in prison and subsequent hardships, Ray has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he cannot be found. Una has thought of nothing else. Upon seeing a photo of Ray in a magazine, she has arrived unannounced at his office. Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect the passionate relationship they had fifteen years ago, when she was twelve and he was forty. Without any moral judgments, the play never shies away from the brutal truth of this abandoned and unconventional love. Una is looking for answers, not vengeance. Nevertheless, the consequences are shattering. Questions far outnumber answers in this dark drama. Blackbird contains strong language and adult content. The sexual abuse of a minor is discussed. It is suitable for ages 16+.
