DUBLINERS:  Counterparts and A Little Cloud

This event has ended

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 24th June - Saturday 20th July

Counterparts and A Little Cloud;

These two short stories from Joyce’s debut work are vivid ‘slices of life’ of early 20th century Dublin. Against the backdrop of a society in paralysis, desperately awaiting change, a pair of Dublin lives are revealed in stark, sometimes brutal, scenes.

In Counterparts, a bad-tempered law clerk is set on having a heavy night’s drinking, while in A Little Cloud, a sensitive soul is embittered by a meeting with an old university friend back from London.

At once funny and tragic, relatable and surprising, the stories are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars.
