ULYSSES: A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST ON FIRE
A hundred years ago Ulysses was published. What happens when two complete strangers approaching their doom (turning 30), think it’s a bright idea to come together to adapt the “greatest novel of the century”?
This metatheatrical piece will dissect the mammoth task of transforming a 900 page beast-of-a-book (give or take) into a one-hour performance, that will surely (possibly? maybe?) delight contemporary audiences. There will be laughs, tears, existential dread and of course, shots! shots! shots!
In collaboration with the Department of English, University of Malta, the Embassy of Ireland in Malta, and the Storm Petrel Foundation.
