Cardiff City is set to celebrate its rich football history with a one-man play titled 'Keenor: The Original Bluebird.' This production will focus on Fred Keenor, the legendary captain who led Cardiff to its historic FA Cup victory in 1927. Auditions for the play are currently underway, with the production scheduled to take place at Porter’s Theatre in Cardiff in April 2027. The play aims to honor Keenor's legacy and the significance of that monumental win, which marked the first time the FA Cup was lifted by a team from Wales. The auditions are looking for a male actor in his late 20s to early 30s who can deliver a convincing Cardiff accent. The auditions will be held on July 1 at the theatre, and interested actors are encouraged to apply via email. Next year will mark the centenary of Cardiff's famous win over Arsenal, a match that drew nearly 100,000 spectators to Wembley Stadium. Keenor's leadership during that match is a pivotal moment in Cardiff City’s history, making this play a fitting tribute to a true Bluebird icon.
