Have you ever read James Joyce’s Ulysses, or even tried to read it? Have you any idea what it’s about, or why it’s considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written? Well now is your chance to find out, and have a great evening’s entertainment and laughter at the same time, because James Joyce and Ulysses is coming to Westport! Robert Gogan, the writer, actor and Joycean enthusiast is bringing his acclaimed one-man show Strolling Through Ulysses! to the Town Hall Theatre for one night only, on Friday March 31st 2017. Strolling Through Ulysses! tells the fun-filled story of Bloomsday – June 16 th 1904 – the iconic day around which Ulysses is based. Written and performed by Robert Gogan, Strolling Through Ulysses! guides you through the curious events and quirky characters of Ulysses, in a humorous, entertaining and informative manner, with extracts from the novel which best illustrate the various aspects of Joyce’s writing – the comical, the descriptive and the complex – without compromising the integrity of the great book.
Joyce, speaking about Ulysses once famously declared, ‘there is not one serious line in it.’ Strolling Through Ulysses! certainly proves that! Bawdy, irreverent and great fun! So hold on to your hats and take a deep breath as Robert Gogan takes you on a 75 minute romp through the fun and laughter which is the backbone of James Joyce’s extraordinary and celebrated novel, Ulysses, which includes –
- A toilet visitation
- A bar room brawl
- An act of seduction
- Naughty shenanigans on a beach
- Lewd thoughts
- Adultery
- A drunken orgy
All in a single day!
