Counterparts and a Little Cloud

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 2nd June - Monday 16th June

These two short stories from Joyce’s debut work are vivid ‘slices of life’ in early 20th century Dublin, revealing a society in paralysis, desperately awaiting change.

Stunningly accompanied by live music, we follow a pair of Dublin characters portrayed in immaculately detailed scenes: In Counterparts, a frustrated law clerk is determined to have a big night’s drinking, while in A Little Cloud, a sensitive soul is thrown by a meeting with an old university friend back from London. At once funny and tragic, the stories are populated with an array of colourful characters who, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars, remain entirely contemporary.

Extra 3pm show on Bloomsday, Monday, June 16th
