The Last Time I Saw Caileigh is a dark, funny and heartfelt one-act play that explores queer erasure through the lens of an unsolved mystery.
Slumber Party Productions, a new international theatre company focusing on Queer stories, has announced the official world premiere of their play, The Last Time I Saw Caileigh, which began development at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2022 and had a highly successful workshop in NYC at the start of the year.
The Last Time I Saw Caileigh is a dark, funny and heartfelt one-act play that explores queer erasure through the lens of an unsolved mystery. When Caileigh Richardson goes missing, the three people closest to them point fingers at one another, and at the ever elusive “system”, as they recount their last few days with Caileigh and try to uncover what happened to them. It asks questions about gender, who we hold accountable for injustice... and fish sex changes.
