SYNOPSIS:

Since it premiered on Broadway in January of 2014, John Patrick Shanley’s
beautiful play, Outside Mullingar, has been a favorite with theatergoers.  The
play tells the story of Anthony and Rosemary, two introverted misfits
straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland,
a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary
lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away.
With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering
between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic
catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic
passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground
and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and
ultimately deeply moving. Outside Mullingar is a compassionate, delightful
work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Bloomsday is a beautiful, breathtaking play about time, love regret and fateful decisions–a nostalgic look at what would happen if you could go back in time to talk to your younger self. The story is about Robert and Cait:

Robert return to Dublin to reunite with Cait, the woman who captured his heart during a James Joyce literary tour thirty-five years ago. Dancing backwards through time, the older couple retraces their steps to discover their young selves. Through youthful Robbie and Caithleen, they relive the unlikely, inevitable events that brought them—only briefly—together. This time-traveling love story blends wit, humor and heartache into a buoyant, moving appeal for making the most of the present before it becomes the past.
