'Strolling Through Ulysses' in Templemore

Have you ever read a book that included a toilet visitation, a bar room brawl, an act of seduction, naughty shenanigans on a beach, lewd thoughts, adultery, a drunken orgy, and a detailed description of urinating in a back garden?

And all of this happening in just one day! If you haven’t, then you haven’t read James Joyce’s 'Ulysses'. 'Ulysses' is considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, novel ever written. But how many people have read it? Very few, by all accounts.

 

Have you ever wondered what it’s all about and why it’s so celebrated? And why it’s such a difficult book to read? Now is your chance to find out, and have a great evening’s fun and entertainment at the same time, because James Joyce and 'Ulysses' is coming to Templemore!

 

Robert Gogan, the writer, actor and Joycean enthusiast, will be performing his celebrated one-man show 'Strolling Through Ulysses!' at Templemore Library for one night only, on March 16th.

 

'Strolling Through Ulysses!' tells the fun-filled story of Bloomsday - June 16th 1904 - the iconic day around which James Joyce’s 'Ulysses' is based. Branded over 16s by Gogan, the show will take place at 7.30pm. Admission is free and no prior booking is required. Further information is available at www.strollingthroughulysses.com or from the library.
