One of the most poignant and raw plays written in the past decade, Blackbird pushes through our preconceptions of predators and victims to find the human need that lies beneath. Fifteen years ago, 40-year-old Ray and the prepubescent Una began an affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. A chance picture in a trade magazine has led Una back to Ray- meeting face-to-face for the first time since his arrest. But is it for answers, reconciliation or revenge.
