Everyman Theatre Announces New Patron Class For BLACKBIRD

Next up on our mainstage will be David Harrower's Blackbird. One of the most talked about plays to come out of London in years, this powerful, volatile piece begins when Una shows up unexpectedly at the office of Ray, forcing him to come to terms with the effects of their relationship. Una pulls Ray into an encounter that is gripping, surprising and utterly unforgettable - the ultimate taboo.

A Study of Blackbird - A class for the theatre lover!

Everyman Theatre is offering its third class for the theatre patron! Class will revolve around our production of David Harrower's play Blackbird. This complex and dangerous story will provide a great opportunity for students to wrestle with a controversial piece. They will discuss and discover how artists present a script that offers no easy answers to the thorny question of whether a person's own suffering can absolve him from the suffering he inflicted upon others. Students will read and study the play while learning how artists take the script and turn it into a full production. It will delve in depth on how to look at a play from varied perspectives and help the theatre patron get the most out of each theatre experience.
