DESCRIPTION
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. It was devised collaboratively by a small ensemble at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. This will be the piece’s official NYC opening, following a UK tour in 2024 which was supported by Arts Council England.

CASTING FOR THE FOLLOWING ROLES ONLY:
FARUK- mid 20s, he/him, of MENA descent. Caileigh's boyfriend of nearly 3 years. Loyal to a fault, with an idiotic but endearing sense of humour. He loves Caileigh deeply and has imagined a future and family with them, a dream he is willing to fight for.
MAUREEN- 45-50, she/her, any race/ethnicity. British accent a plus but not required. Caileigh’s aunt. Caileigh has been living with her for the past three years and she sees Caileigh as the daughter she never had. A feminist, or was by the standards of 20 years ago. She’s shrunken herself to fit inside her marriage. Wants to support Caileigh, but doesn’t quite understand “the whole non-binary thing”.
