Synopsis
Ulysses
Dermot Bolger from James Joyce
Published by Oberon
5 Male 3 Female
Leopold Bloom's odyssey is a pandemonium of live music, puppets, dancing, clowning, bowler hats and kazoos
It's Ulysses as you've never imagined it before
With his wife Molly waiting in bed for the nefarious Blazes Boylan, Leopold Bloom traverses Dublin, conversing in pubs, graveyards and brothels, enduring ridicule and prejudice as he steadfastly clings to his principles and subtly slays his dragons
And all the while drawing ever closer to his fateful encounter with the young Stephen Dedalus
A superbly theatrical homage to Joyce's chronicle of Dublin life and the greatest novel of all time
REVIEWS
★★★★★ "A production that throws its arms wide open and bids everyone welcome" ~ The Arts Review
"Dermot Bolger's beautifully crafted adaptation (carefully and coherently selected from the fiction) has a palpable love for the sensuousness and abundance of Joyce's language" ~ The Sunday Herald
