Theatre: Jil Devresse, star of Blackbird on the Sam Steen Show
22/11/2023

Blackbird returns for a run at the Théâtre du Centaure which begins Nov 25.
After 15 years of silence, Una, a young woman in her twenties, pays Ray a visit at his workplace, a photo of him in a trade magazine having put her on his track. The last time she saw him, she was twelve, he was forty, and they had a « relationship ». They haven’t set eyes on each other since.
Through gripping dialogue, each in turn reveals how their lives have been turned upside down, subjected to the judgment of others.
Allusions, hesitations, uncovered lies; until the final twist, the play keeps you guessing.
Jil Devresse, who plays Una, joined the Sam Steen Show this morning to discuss the play and the challenges of returning to a role.
