In a 'Twilight Zone' type premise, two people who had a promising romantic relationship years before but cut it off before it could get started encounter their younger selves and try to warn them of the regret they would feel years later. The play is set in the framework of James Joyce's classic novel 'Ulysses,' with Chandra Bond playing an Irish tour guide and Trent Trachtenberg a reluctant tourist she draws into the group. Charming, wistful, and sad, 'Bloomsday' tugs at the heartstrings in all of us who have regretted the 'road not taken.'
