Ulysses for children? Yes, Ulysses for children.
James Joyce’s epic story of one day in one city is brought to life in this inventive new show, bringing Ireland’s most notorious book to audiences aged 8 and upwards, and to all those who haven’t got around to reading it yet.
Combining live performance, intricate paper design, an original score and Joyce’s odyssey, this is theatre that will excite both young and old.
“Ulysses for children: has the world gone mad?… Branar has gone and done it.” ★★★★
— The Irish Times
“Never read Ulysses? No worries at all. Branar brings the bones of James Joyce’s epic novel to life with charm and fun. A captivating adaptation devised for children but enthralling for everyone.”
— Fringe Review UK
