Strolling Through Ulysses

***Please note change of venue – this event will now take place in the Festival Dome ***

Strolling Through Ulysses! is a one-man show that tells the fun-filled story of Bloomsday – 16 June 1904 – the iconic day around which James Joyce’s Ulysses is based.

Ulysses was 100 years old this year, so we’ll be celebrating this great novel’s 100th birthday in the Festival Dome!

Written and performed by Robert Gogan, Strolling Through Ulysses! guides you through the curious events and quirky characters of Ulysses — humorous, entertaining and revealing!

Joyce, speaking about Ulysses once famously declared, ‘there is not one single 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 whistle-stop tour through the fun and laughter which is the backbone of James Joyce’s extraordinary and celebrated novel.

Over 16s only.
