David Harrower’s “Blackbird”, directed by Myriam Muller, returns for its second run at the Théâtre du Centaure from Saturday 25 November.
Jil Devresse, perhaps best known for her dual role in Luxembourgish detective series Capitani, joined the Sam Steen Show on Wednesday morning to discuss the play and the challenges of returning to the stage.
Last year, Devresse received rave reviews for her role as Una, a young woman in her twenties who confronts her abuser fifteen years later. Through gripping dialogue, each in turn reveals how their lives have been turned upside down, subjected to the judgement of others, as the play unfolds. Devresse said it was a challenging, yet exciting endeavour, despite the difficult subject matter.
Next, Devresse will be returning to theatres in a German production of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”, with shows planned for Luxembourg in May.
More details and ticket information for “Blackbird” can be found on the theatre’s website here.
Blackbird returns for a run at the Théâtre du Centaure which begins Nov 25.
For a mix of music, games, news, culture and community that will get your day started, you can tune into The Sam Steen Show on Mondays through Fridays from 6-10am.
