Breakdown

Conor McPherson’s critically lauded play about a Dubliner seeking help from a counselor after claiming to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. As their sessions unfold, secrets are exposed in this thriller where a simple tale turns out to be anything but.

SEEKING:

As of 2/18: the age range of the role John has been update:

JOHN

Now 40s-50s. Irish.

A middle management worker bee haunted by his wife's sudden, violent death. Exhausted by grief and overwhelmed with guilt he visits a therapist in an attempt to come to terms with his newly upended world.

NEASA
30s. Irish. A working class mother rooted in a harder, less forgiving reality. Strong, yet stubborn and blind sometimes to the true nature of others.

LAURENCE
20s. Irish. Spontaneous, has a nervous energy. A young father trying to survive in a desperate world, willing to do anything to make ends meet.

The following role has been CAST. Actors will be considered for possible replacements if necessary.

IAN
40s. Irish. An ex priest. Hopes to restore order through his new therapy practice. Seemingly composed and rational. Sharp, but not as self-aware as he thinks. He is pursued by his past actions and running from his present circumstances. As a result he seems to be moving in many directions, while ultimately standing still. [ROLE CAST]
