Fifteen years ago, Una and Ray had a relationship. They haven't set eyes on each other since. Now she's found him again.

Ken Webster (Austin Critics' Table and B. Iden Payne Awards for Best Actor) and Xochitl Romero (who recently won raves in Dog Sees God at HPT) star; Mark Pickell of Capital T Theatre (Mr. Marmalade, Happy Days) directs this astonishing play that won the 2007 Olivier Award for Best New Play -- London's most prestigious theater award.

Sunday Herald:
"Harrower's drama positively explodes with unresolved, and possibly unresolvable concerns . . . one of the most daring new plays of recent years."

Daily Telegraph:
"I have rarely seen an audience watch a new work with quite such rapt attention . . . Blackbird is a drama that mixes guilt, memory, and desire into the most potent of theatrical cocktails."

The show runs at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, September 11 - October 11, 2008. Every Thursday is Pay What You Can Night; Friday and Saturday tickets are $18 ($16 for students, seniors, and ACOT members). Hyde Park Theatre is located at 511 W. 43rd Street.
