Breakdown

Synopsis: Port Authority is the story of three generations of Irish men: Kevin a rudderless young man falling for his female roommate who doesn't reciprocate; Dermot, in middle age, mistakenly launched into a job he cannot handle; and Joe, an elderly widower who hordes a lifelong romantic passion. Conor McPherson, Ireland's master storyteller weaves an interconnected tale of life, love, and shattered dreams.

Seeking:

Kevin:
Early 20s. Recently left the family home. Vulnerable. Sensitive, rudderless, unsure yet whether to 'go with the flow' -- or fight for things in life

Dermot:
30s/40s. After landing a job for which he is ill qualified Dermot finds himself out of his element. Raw, crude, cynical, and utterly astounded at the opportunities that are now available to him. (There is an offer out on this role)

Joe:
70s. Elderly man. Frail Kind. Gentle A decent warm individual who holds a secret.
