15 years ago, Ray and Una had a relationship that ripped their lives and families apart. They haven't set eyes on each other since.

Now she's found him again.

Una confronts Ray at his workplace , where the two engage in a long and difficult confrontation involving Una's continuing struggles to understand and come to terms with the what happened and her intensely conflicting emotions, which pivot between anger, curiosity, confusion, and even a persistent attachment to

Ray, whom Una loved – and she believed that he loved her.

Ray, who is himself trying to forget the past and the potential feelings he had for Una, parries her demanding questions and descriptions of her feelings and experiences, all the while uncertain of her intentions…

The play follows a gruelling conversation between the two adults, examining how the choices made 15 years ago have shaped both of their lives.

They reflect on both the good and bad memories of their relationship and what their lives have been like since it ended.

Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2007, Blackbird is a play that grabs you from the first moment and won't let go until the climax.
