| Blackbird, by British playwright David Harrower, won the 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Play. This explosive drama was the hit of the Edinburgh International Festival and a smash on London’s West End and off-Broadway. Ray is confronted with his past when Una arrives unannounced at his office. Guilt and raw emotions run high as they recollect the passionate love affair they had 15 years earlier. Tensions rise, raising the questions: When is love abuse? And, can we ever break free from the shackles of the past? The Daily Telegraph wrote, “an extraordinary, no-holds-barred drama that both chills and thrills.” Produced by Studio 180 in association with The Canadian Stage Company and directed by Joel Greenberg, Blackbird makes its Canadian debut. Launched in 2003, Studio 180 is dedicated to developing new plays and producing Canadian premieres of international dramas with social and political purpose. The acclaimed company premiered the critically lauded productions of The Laramie Project and The Arab-Israeli Cookbook and is currently producing the Canadian premiere of David Hare’s Stuff Happens at the Berkeley Street Theatre.
