It's an intense psychodrama that won't let your mind wander even though there are times this story makes you wish you could switch channels.
A pair of May-December romances onstage
Review by Ann Miner
This production of Edmond Rostand's fable about a rooster and his role in the cosmos is creative and somewhat witty, but seeming as if it's in search of an audience.
Despite its flaws, MTC's production of "Blackbird," a play that recently won an Olivier Award for its London run, is provocative and worthwhile. And Harrower is definitely a name to watch.
The thorny performances of Jeff Daniels and Alison Pill in this two-hander fortify the playwright's illustration of how guilt and innocence can resist clean attribution.
David Harrower's play has a genuinely unsettling theme and ultimately haunts.
Neither character is appealing. They are off-putting and fascinating at the same time. Sort of like the play itself.
