Shock and Awe: 'Blackbird'

Photo by Megan Lloyd
MOVIES AND PLAYS that promise to cover taboo topics often win audiences purely on shock value. But very few plays are as well-written or well-constructed as David Harrower's "Blackbird," next up at the Studio Theatre.

The play's two characters have a terrible secret, but we won't reveal it here. That would be cheating. Suffice to say that this play takes something that could be merely salacious and makes it wrenching.

» Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; through Dec. 21, $41-$61; 202-332-3300. (Dupont Circle)
