Stray Cat Theatre Kicks Off 2009-2010 Season With BLACKBIRD, Opens 9/25

Stray Cat Theatre presents Blackbird By David Harrower Directed by Ron May 

He went to jail. She went home. You never forget your first love. One of the more talked-about and controversial plays of the past decade, David Harrower's Blackbird has been featured on many American and London critics' top 10 lists and received the 2007Olivier Award for Best New Play (Britain's equivalent of the Tony). Loosely based on a true story, this powerful, volatile piece begins when Una shows up unexpectedly at the office of Ray, forcing Ray to come to terms with the effects of their past relationship. Una pulls him into a brutal encounter that is gripping, surprising and utterly unforgettable. How better to kick off a season Stray Cat style than with a pull-no-punches evening of theatre you aren't soon to forget.
