Katie O' Kelly and the New Theatre presents 'Joyced'
JOYCED!
Written by Donal O'Kelly
Performed by Katie O'Kelly
Directed by Sorcha Fox
Joyced! looks back at 1904 through the eyes of JoJo, a stallholder in Dublin's Rathmines Market with a dangerous obsession for all things Joycean. JoJo careers through the full gamut of 1904 James Joyce:-
• his battles with his mad dad
• his bronze medal win for singing in the Feis
• a crazed night of gunfire in the Sandycove Tower
• his rescue from Monto mayhem by the man who became Bloom
• and his passion for Nora Barnacle and their fabled walk on 16th June
It is a chaotic, exciting, whirlwind odyssey through the people, events and year that would later become infamous in Ulysses.
Earlier this year, Katie O’Kelly performed a version of Joyced! at the Bloomsday celebrations in Oslo, Norway to rapturous applause.
She will now perform an enhanced production of Joyced! for the New Theatre to commemorate the anniversary of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle’s elopement from Ireland to Europe.
10th-15th October at 8pm
Tickets €10
