Workshopped in SLAC’s 18/19 New Play Sounding Series

Roberta's Odyssey—a magical comedy about loss and love from the brilliant mind of Kathleen Cahill! Roberta arrives in Dublin, but her suitcase—which contains her father’s ashes—doesn’t. Her trip turns into a magical mystery tour and the lost suitcase becomes a symbol of her life. This lyrical and intoxicating comedy tests forgiveness, love, and our trust in the universe.

"The Robertassey does not just channel Irish charm and wisdom but also a quintessential Nietzschean ideal..."
Les Roka - The Utah Review

"SLAC’s production of Cahill’s The Robertassey was a success. I would absolutely go again, and I loved thinking about the story this weekend."
Scott Savage - Utah Theatre Bloggers

"The Robertassey lingers like a half-remembered dream – strange, sorrowful, and unexpectedly laugh-out-loud funny."
Jason & Alisha Hagey - Front Row Reviewers
