Declan Gorman’s solo show has been hailed at home and abroad as “ingenious”.
Set in 1914 it opens with London publisher Grant Richards determined to re-read ‘Dubliners’ eight years after first rejecting the manuscript out of fear it might breach obscenity laws. As the streets of Dublin and the racy, comic tales of Joyce’s childhood and young adult world spring to vivid life around him, Richards relives his frustrating correspondence with the petulant Irish writer. Should he risk everything now, second time around, and launch this volatile but brilliant genius on a world about to descend into the madness of war?

“A truly mesmerising performance… by no means exclusively for die-hard Joyce fans, a brilliant introduction for newcomers!” Metro Herald
