Thanks for the kind words- you make me blush! I think "Blackbird" is one of those plays that makes you confirm passionately, unequivocally, definitively that theater is an essential part of human experience. It is a difficult play to sit through, for sure, but it captures the complexity and struggle of real life oh so accurately. Hi Joe! Thanks for the kind words- you make me blush!

I envy you. On the subject of the play, I think you admirably capture the turmoil that the audience feels after experiencing this play. It certainly disturbed me, and I keep mulling over the issues it raised. Not quite the same as rubbernecking to view an accident on the highway, this play forces the audience to confront some very unsettling and disturbing realities, whether they want to or not. Life isn't easy or simple. Damn, Francis, you are an excellent writer. I envy you.
