Blackbird tackles a tough topic

By Zhang Kun in Shanghai | China Daily | Updated: 2015-05-18 07:28

A play exploring the darkness and complexity of humanity in the context of a paedophilia scandal will be performed in Shanghai in June.

Blackbird by Scottish playwright David Harrower premiered in 2005 and won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award for best new play in 2007.

It was partly inspired by the true story of a sex criminal. The story takes place 15 years after the man was arrested and imprisoned for having a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old.
