A companion piece to TELEMACHUS at the James Joyce Tower, Volta Theatre Company has added the “Cyclops” episode of Ulysses to its Bloomsday repertoire.  

Leopold Bloom finds himself in the proverbial lion’s den of Barney Kiernan’s, where the ‘broadshouldered deepchested stronglimbed’ Citizen demonstrates the ugly side of Irish Nationalism. Inflammatory speeches over afternoon pints, decrying the British Empire and ‘foreigners’ in general, lead to an antisemitic rant against Bloom and an assault with a biscuit tin. 

Performed by Oliver Flitcroft, Liam Hourican, Jim Roche and Darragh Shannon, this hilarious, sharply satirical piece makes its debut this June. 

Also on Monday 9 June
