What I liked
Blackbird is riveting. It is uncomfortable, and it should be. We sit onstage as the audience, trapped in this miserable reunion for an hour, but we can’t help but be engrossed. The set is gloriously nasty, designed by Burt Grinstead. Charlotte Gulezian and Bradley Fisher are so focused as Una and Ray, and under Anna Stromberg’s direction they let us in so slowly and sparingly to their shared past that we almost can’t stand it, and then somehow all of a sudden, we understand that this is above all a love story, in the way all good ones are – full of rocks and nails and abuse and longing and a feverish clawing for salvation wherever we can get it. What a ride.
