The Here Comes Everybody Players
Bringing the literary work of James Joyce and other Irish authors, playwrights, and poets to the stage for both academic and general audiences
OUR NEXT PERFORMANCE
February 2022 - Four Characters from Ulysses
This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication in Paris of James Joyce’s celebrated ground-breaking novel Ulysses on February 2nd 1922. Set in Dublin on a single day, June 16th, 1904, the book features many residents of that city, some based on real historical characters. However, three fictional characters – the young man Stephen Dedalus, the older Leopold Bloom, and his wife Molly Bloom – dominate the book, as does the ever-present geography, language and character of the City of Dublin. With brief performed excerpts from the book, The Here Comes Everybody Players will bring to life each of these characters and their connections with one another. The programme will be introduced by Joyce scholar Katherine O’Callaghan of U Mass Amherst and will be punctuated with live music.
February 02, 2022: 4:00 PM Eastern Time US (9 PM in Ireland & UK, 10 PM in Paris)
Those who register more than 24 hours in advance will receive a programme by email the day of the performance. RSVP by clicking below:
