Celebrate James Joyce

Our Friends At The Pavilion theatre – just a 30 min drive from wicklow, have sent us an update on their upcoming productions in celebration of James Joyce and Blooms day see below:

Cove Productions in association with Focus Theatre presents
THE TOWER by Joe Joyce
Starring Tom Hickey as James Joyce
and Bosco Hogan as Oliver St. John Gogarty

Joyce and Gogarty were close friends in the year leading up to Joyce’s departure from Dublin into self-imposed exile in 1904. The friendship disintegrated into long-term enmity after a celebrated falling out in the Martello Tower in Sandycove which involved a nightmarish black panther and a real gun and formed the backdrop to the opening chapter of Ulysses.

The Tower brings them back to Sandycove in the present day, as they look back on their friendship, their art, and their lives with humour, insight – and more than a century of hindsight. This production was a sell out success in Bewley’s Café Theatre last summer.

“Elegant, well-observed, genuinely witty, and above all, intelligent. . . . an offering of quite extraordinary quality.”
- Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent
