Blackbird

The Mendocino Theatre Company is proud to present David Harrower's 
powerful drama BLACKBIRD, directed by Ann Woodhead.


It's been fifteen years since Ray and Una have been in the same room -- 
when he was forty, and she was just twelve years old.He has moved to 
another town and changed his name in pursuit of a new life.But when Una 
recognizes Ray in a magazine photo, she travels to find him and insists 
they dive into their shared past -- an incident that sent him to prison 
and caused irreparable damage to both of their lives. BLACKBIRD
explores a provocative subject in a way that will challenge audience 
members to question their perceptions.


The production features veteran MTC actor Dan Kozloff (The Normal 
Heart, Gaslight, /Morning’s at Seven) as Ray and LA-based actor Emily 
Batterson, (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) as Una. "I am excited to 
be directing this exceptional cast in this dynamic and thought-provoking 
play," says director Ann Woodhead." BLACKBIRD addresses questions of 
attraction, morality, and responsibility in a thrilling confrontation 
between two people whose memories of an event do not match up."
