If you’ve ever wished you could go back and have a second chance at a decision you made back in your 20s, this winsome tale will simmer in your mind long after the play ends. Steven Dietz’s lyrical new Irish love story, set amidst tourists exploring the pubs and streets of James Joyce’s “Ulysses,” transports us into a compassionate world of history, humor and heartache. Filled with humor, this emotional story captures the intensity of experiences that pass by fleetingly as an older couple retraces their steps to discover their younger selves. BLOOMSDAY gives us a funny, touching and stark look at what it is to be in love no matter what stage of life you’re in.

BLOOMSDAY is a charming play with layers that reveal themselves in clever and unexpected ways. Director Andrew Barnicle brings a sparkle of magic, music, and poetry to the swift-moving 100-minute play.

The key to this play is the selection of the four people who form the cast for this play. Playwright Steven Dietz was in the audience and when told that his play was most enjoyable he responded, ‘Thank the actors and actresses on stage, it’s all because of them.’ BLOOMSDAY is beautifully acted.

Playing with time on stage is a delicate technique in the hands of four fine actors, directed by Andrew Barnicle, the play’s San Diego debut at North Coast Repertory is a must-see. This is a play that picks at your brain throughout, in a very challenging and satisfying way. And the production at NCRT handles the challenge in excellent fashion.

It's a triumphant Must see production.
