Blackbird

Blackbird was commissioned by the Edinburgh Festival, toured Britain and played across the world receiving many awards and nominations. This is a hard-hitting play inspired by events that took place in 2003 when American Toby Studebaker groomed and abducted a 12-year-old girl. In this play, a fictional Una, now 27, has tracked down 55-year-old Ray, and is confronting him with their past. How they came together, how their relationship developed, their elopement and the consequences of what happened.
