James Joyce’s epic story of one day in one city is brought to life in this inventive show, bringing Ireland’s most notorious book to audiences aged 8 and upwards, and to all those who haven’t got around to reading it yet.

Combining live performance, intricate paper design, an original score and Joyce’s odyssey, this is theatre that will excite both young and old.
