Wonderful set of readings and such a great way to navigate the novel on Bloomsday. Really enjoyed what is presented here - excellent and thanks so much.
Only James Joyce can sublimely describe buying soap with pennies. Easy to forget when you read it on Kindle. Thank you for the fantastic and joyful video.
Just finished viewing this. Thanks to all the performers. I started my Ulysses reread last Bloomsday. I just reached the beginning of "Nausicaa" last night.
I cannot say enough good things about this production in the space allotted. Nice to see some familiar faces from the Joyce Walking Tour I did a couple of years ago, which of course ended in a pub while group reading portions of Finnegan’s Wake. Cheers to all!
"BLOOMED" ...and so it goes, the way of things that ferment to foment, the raging torrent of the love she thought was gone and spent; nor dared she dip a curious toe to test emotions raging, but tasted of the dew at morn and found it more engaging; a gentler testing of the clime that meant for pacifying the turbulence of passion's plea, desiring and its sighing and on her lift the season's glow, a carpet waving in the wind's sigh, rolled back and eddied playfully amidst the conifers and bonsai and so she cherishes the gold of the season nearly spent, conflagrating that which is dead; for Autumn's gone...and so it went...

I'm here for Blindboy. That was a great show. My favorite part was the scene where Boylan is buying a gift and creepily checking out the counter girl. The guy doing the reading made Blazes come alive.
