Blackbird was commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival, where it received its world premiere. In it a young woman confronts the man who had seduced her fifteen years earlier. After years in prison and subsequent hardships, Ray, now 56, has a new identity. Ray has made a new life for himself, but Una, now twenty-seven, has thought of nothing else than pursuing the truth of what happened to her fifteen years before. This powerful play brings the audience directly into the questions it raises about the past, the present, and the future of the two people confronting each other before us. It is a story you will not forget.
