The Den Theatre Presents BLACKBIRD

The Den Theatre will present a revival of David Harrower's critically acclaimed drama Blackbird, directed by ensemble member Lia Mortensen, playing March 21 - April 26, 2020 at The Den Theatre (2A) 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago.

After spending time in prison for sexually abusing a minor, 56-year-old Ray has now changed his name, relocated and found a new job – with no one aware of his dark history. Una, the girl from Ray’s past, has been left with an utterly shattered life and only herself to try and pick up the pieces. Now 27, in search of healing and closure, she discovers where Ray works and shows up unannounced at his office to confront him. David Harrower’s Blackbird is a raw, real and unforgiving play that shines a light on sexual abuse, child molestation, abuse of power and the devastation that results in its wake.

The production team to date includes Jeffrey D. Kmiec (scenic design), Josh Prisching (lighting design), Greg Williamson (technical director), Kristine Ernie Urnikis (production associate) and Sarah Luse (stage manager).
