The James Joyce Centre is proud to sponsor A Rare Journey: Nora Joyce’s Odyssey<\/em><\/strong>, written and performed by Paula Greevy-Lee, at the Cork Arts Theatre<\/strong> on 24-27 July 2024 at 8pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Rare Journey<\/em><\/strong> celebrates the life of a truly remarkable Irish woman,\u00a0Nora Joyce<\/strong> (nee Barnacle), in a highly entertaining roller-coaster 75-minutes, filled with music, song and humour that delights in Nora\u2019s quick and razor-sharp wit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in 1946 in Zurich, five years after James Joyce\u2019s death, Nora prepares to meet a young American reporter for lunch. Wary of journalists and anxious about what questions she might be asked about life with her famous husband, Nora \u2018rehearses\u2019 for the encounter, retracing the exhilarating highs and best-left-unsaid lows of her extraordinary life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Gerard Lee<\/strong>, this one-woman show seeks to separate the wise, sharp-witted, complex, and compassionate Nora from the many half-truths that have dogged her since her death in 1951.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis one woman play really shines bright\u2026a particularly impressive feat for Paula Greevy-Lee\u2026captures the audience with charm and wit\u2026Greevy-Lee also has a beautiful singing voice.\u201d \u2013 <\/em> The Reviews Hub<\/strong>

\u201cPaula Greevy-Lee gives a flawless performance as the often put-upon but always resilient Nora<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 Jack Gilligan, Dublin City FM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
