Blackbird

It didn't feel like it's been that long since I last stepped into SRT, but I just can't recall what my last play had been. Hmmm.... Am quite sure it's not the PillowMan. Was it Macbeth? Or Midsummer Night's Dream? Or what?? Argh.

Anyways, the 1.5hr act proved pretty intense... The acting by Emma Yong was wonderful, almost painful to watch. Daniel Jenkins was alrights, not disappointing but not outstanding either. This play, about a suffocating, illicit relationship between a 40yr old man and a 12yr old child, one that paralyzes them even after a gap of 15yrs, is disturbing but not to the extent of nightmare-inducing.

I would imagine there are all sorts of relationships and dynamics happening in various parts of our complex world. Life, may or may not be simply a matter of personal choice.
