Starring William L. Petersen
Directed by Dennis Zacek
by David Harrower
William L. Petersen, star of
CBS-TV’s CSI, returns to the theater where he first earned his Equity card to
star in Blackbird. This searing two-person drama about the destructive cycle of
desire and illicit love brings to mind Petersen’s earliest work on Chicago’s
stages, playing morally questionable characters in In the Belly of the Beast,
The Night of the Iguana, and Flyovers. “The most powerful drama of the
season…masterly, mesmerizing…extraordinary…a miracle” (New York Times), and
winner of the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award, Britain’s equivalent to the Tony’s, Blackbird
will leave you stunned into silence.
