“The gifted David Harrower’s intense ‘Blackbird’ promises to be THE MOST POWERFUL DRAMA OF THE SEASON. Under the masterly, mesmerizing direction of Joe Mantello, Jeff Daniels and Alison Pill are EXTRAORDINARY. A MIRACLE.”
 Ben Brantley, The New York Times

The winner of London’s 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Play, David Harrower’s Blackbird comes to life at MTC in a thrilling new American production. 

This powerful, volatile piece begins when Una shows up unexpectedly at the office of Ray, forcing him to come to terms with the effects of their relationship. Una pulls him into an encounter that is gripping, surprising and utterly unforgettable. Directing is Joe Mantello, the two-time Tony-winning director of Take Me Out, Wicked, Assassins and MTC’s Love! Valour! Compassion!
