Photo Flash: First Look at Patrick Fitzgerald and Cara Seymour in Irish Rep's GIBRALTAR

The Irish Repertory Theatre continues its award-winning 25th Anniversary Season with the Off-Broadway premiere of GIBRALTAR-Patrick Fitzgerald's two-character adaptation of James Joyce's "Ulysses" - currently in previews prior to opening tomorrow, June 13 in the company's W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street). Terry Kinney directs. GIBRALTAR co-stars playwright and actor Patrick Fitzgerald and Cara Seymour. Below, BroadwayWorld has a first look at the duo onstage!

Buried in the heart of James Joyce's complex book lies a simple love story, the story of Leopold and Molly Bloom.

Haunted by the death of a son and incapacitated by the havoc that loss has wrought on their relationship, Leopold and Molly Bloom are treading water. Leopold's solution-let Molly take a lover, then she'll appreciate him more. She'll tell him all about it, and they'll recover their lost language of love. He embarks on his Odyssey around Dublin, knowing full well that Molly is going to have an affair that afternoon. Can this gambit work? We wander far and wide with our unconquered hero until day turns to night and he returns home to the comfort of his bed and sleep. Then Molly awakens. And has the last word: "Yes...."

Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues): Wednesdays at 3pm and 8pm; Thursdays at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm.
