Review: BLACKBIRD at United Hope Church
by Ilana Lucas - Oct 13, 2025
What did our critic think of BLACKBIRD at United Hope Church? Of course, there’s a lot to gasp about in Talk Is Free Theatre’s production of BLACKBIRD, an incredibly intimate staging of Scottish playwright David Harrower’s 2005 drama about a tense confrontation, years after the fact, between a man who had a sexual relationship with a middle schooler and the now grown woman who tracks him down. So it’s a good thing to have such unfettered access to that respiration.
