Director is flexible with rehearsal schedule.
Robbie is a bit clueless and falls quickly for Caithleen in a very hopeful, romantic way. And then throws away his chance.
If actor is tall and slender that would be a plus (bc of actor cast for his older self) but not necessary.
All other parts are cast and we’re ready to have a grand adventure!
A write up on the play by Chicago reviews:
“It’s the story of two people who met on one fateful day 35 years ago and then have not crossed paths since until the man, Robert, decides to seek out the girl he has never been able to get out of his mind, Caithleen. Discovering her whereabouts in Dublin, he writes to her, and they decide to meet. We watch that meeting intertwined with the story of their only previous day together, but it is not that alone that makes Bloomsday stand out. On that first day, Caithleen had told young Robbie that, like her mother who went mad, she sees past, present and future all at once, a “chord” instead of a sequence of notes. That chord forms the core of the play, in which the now older couple interact with and observe their younger selves as time periods blend together like Caithleen’s chord.
Bloomsday is a kind of a love story. It celebrates a could-have-been love between two people and a tender connection to a complex piece of poetic Irish prose, as well as an embrace of Ireland and an Irish way of thinking. It’s a beautiful play with sensitivity, empathy and a little touch of magic.“
