Bloomsday by Steven Dietz at Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company BETC

May 22, 2019

Bloomsday

directed by Jada Suzanne Dixon

An old-fashioned, new-fangled Irish romance from one of America’s most prolific playwrights.

Robert returns 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 younger 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.
