It is a montage of pieces from the four great prose works of Joyce, commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of the first appearance in print of an extract of what would eventually become<em>\u00a0Finnegans Wake<\/em>\u00a0(1939). The 1924 \u2018Mamalujo\u2019 fragment is woven into an entertaining short presentation that includes a comic prologue and vivid scenes from\u00a0<em>Ulysses<\/em>\u00a0(1922),\u00a0<em>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man<\/em>\u00a0(1916) and\u00a0<em>Dubliners\u00a0<\/em>(1914).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performed by Declan Gorman. Written by Declan Gorman and Des Gunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declan Gorman<\/strong>&nbsp;is a highly regarded writer, director and performer. His previous Joyce performances&nbsp;<em>The Dubliners Dilemma&nbsp;<\/em>(2012) and<em>&nbsp;Falling Through the Universe<\/em>&nbsp;(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 &#8211;&nbsp;<em>Metro Herald<\/em>, Dublin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGorman\u2019s charming play dramatises clearly how Joyce\u2019s writing has embedded itself deeply in Irish culture.
