The play finds London publisher Grant Richards re-reading the manuscript of&nbsp;<em>Dubliners&nbsp;<\/em>in 1914, eight full years after he initially rejected it on the grounds it might breach strict obscenity laws. Joyce\u2019s Dublin comes to wild life around him, a city of innocence and perversion: of sexual predators, gigolos, gamblers and drinkers mingling among street children, housemaids and exquisite concert singers. Entranced again by the literary gifts of the truculent Irish author who refused to change a single word, Richards must decide whether to take the risk second time around, and be the one finally to bring the genius of Joyce to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written and performed by Declan Gorman. Directed by Gerard Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declan Gorman<\/strong>\u00a0is a highly regarded writer, director and performer. His previous Joyce performances\u00a0<em>The Dubliners Dilemma\u00a0<\/em>(2012) and<em>\u00a0Falling Through the Universe<\/em>\u00a0(2022) have toured widely in Ireland and overseas. In the week of Bloomsday, Declan will travel on to Ottawa, Toronto, and Hamilton, Ontario with a selection of his Joyce works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGorman holds the audience enraptured throughout with a truly mesmerising performance. This original adaptation is by no means exclusively for die-hard Joyce fans, making a brilliant introduction for newcomers!\u201d&nbsp;<em>Metro Herald<\/em>, Dublin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGorman is a compelling performer, at his best when undertaking childhood roles and in his element with Joyce\u2019s obsequious characters \u2026 an animated and intelligent performance.\u201d<em>&nbsp;Irish Theatre Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets are \u20ac15.
