Blackbird Play

The Atlanta premiere of David Harrower's award-winning play, "Blackbird", will be running October 5th through 14th in the Black Box at 7Stages Theatre. This one-act drama is directed by Atlanta's own, Rebekah Suellau.

Synopsis:
After years in prison and subsequent hardships, Ray, 56, has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he cannot be found. Una, 27, 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 12 and he was 40. Without any moral judgements, the play never shies away from the brutal truth of this abandoned and unconventional love.

Running time: approximately 75 minutes
NO LATE SEATING
