   Is Blackbird a good play?

   • “Blackbird,” which took the Olivier Award in London for best new play in 2007, is an immensely powerful work that only occasionally maximizes its potential in the fitful production that opened on Thursday night at the Belasco Theater.

   Is Blackbird a love story?

   • For what “Blackbird” does is convince us, through a creeping current of persuasion, that the shared history of Ray and Una — which put him in jail and her on a path of self-destruction — is indeed a love story.
