Frankie Rodriguez & More to Star in New Play THE LAST TIME I SAW CAILEIGH at Brooklyn Art Haus

A new play, The Last Time I Saw Caileigh, will be presented at Brooklyn Art Haus January 25th-28th 2024, all at 7:30pm. 

The Last Time I Saw Caileigh is a dark, funny and heartfelt one-act play that explores the erasure of queer people through the lens of an unsolved mystery and an underground trial. It asks questions about gender, who we hold accountable for injustice... and fish sex changes. It was devised collaboratively by myself and three collaborators at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where we met doing an MA in Theatre Lab, the only postgraduate acting degree in the UK with an emphasis on creating new work. After graduating, we went on to perform the piece at the Coronet Theatre in Notting Hill and January 2024 will mark its U.S. premiere. 

The cast features:

They are now based primarily in London, having just completed an MA at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Most recently, Victoria worked on Peacock’s The Continental: From The World of John Wick. They are especially passionate about collaborating with other artists to create new work that tells stories from queer and feminist perspectives.
