About Blackout Songs
Get Blackout Songs tickets see the Olivier Award-nominated drama make its New York premiere. Joe White's Blackout Songs off Broadway offers a stunning portrait of love, addiction, and recovery in a fresh manner. Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road, Black Rabbit) and Owen Teague (Mrs. Fletcher, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) star in this new play that the Daily Telegraph awarded five stars for its London bow.
In Blackout Songs, a man and a woman meet in Alcoholics Anonymous before falling in love and beginning a decades-spanning affair that lifts them up and breaks them down. Addicted and bound to each other, Blackout Songs portrays a singular couple, and how within it the person who may save you is also the one who may tear your life apart.
“With Blackout Songs, I set out to write a memory play about two people who can’t trust their memories,” said White in a statement. “Who fell in love and forgot how. Who invented things to fill the gaps. Who lost track of the truth. I wanted this play to feel like someone pouring their heart out over someone and sort of reveling in the doomed romance of it all."
Rory McGregor, who directed the West End revival and the international tour of the National Theatre production of The Lehman Trilogy, stages this new play. It runs for a limited time only, from January 15 to February 28, with a January 27 opening, at The Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space.
The Guardian gave the play fours stars and called it "compulsive to watch," and The Financial Times also gave it four stars, saying the show is "witty, warm, and unpredictable." Now, New York audiences can experience this blazing play: Blackout Songs tickets are available now on New York Theatre Guide.

“Raw, intimate addiction drama with powerhouse performances”
A Devastating Love Story Through Addiction's Lens
This intimate two-hander delivers a brutally honest exploration of alcoholism and toxic love, powered by committed performances that audiences consistently praised as phenomenal. The nonlinear, fragme...
What It Feels Like
- Emotionally intense
- Heartbreakingly intimate
- Disorienting yet gripping
You’ll Love This If…
- You appreciate fearless, vulnerable acting
- You connect with raw portrayals of addiction and codependency
- You enjoy nonlinear storytelling that mirrors fractured memory
Good concept and interesting portrayal of alcoholism, but the execution can be better. The writing is broken up to reflect the sense of broken memories but it takes the audience too long to figure that out and it hurts the pacing.
The story is intimate and emotionally strong
It felt more like a scene prepared for a acting class then a fleshed out production
