Bloomsday at Glasnevin Museum 16th June 2012
It is not unusual to see dedicated Joyceans make the annual trip to Glasnevin Cemetery in hired horse-drawn carriages; some even rent a hearse for full authenticity. Amongst the countless Joycean characters buried in Glasnevin is the writer’s father John Stanislaus. This year to celebrate this historic date Glasnevin Museum will run a series of events Including a Joycean breakfast in the Tower cafe, a reading of Chapter six Hades by the Dublin Shakespeare Society and a Joycean tour of the cemetery with Shane MacThomais.
10.00am – 4.00pm: Joycean Breakfast and lunch in Glasnevin Museum’s Tower Café.
12.00pm: Dublin Shakespeare Society presents a Rehearsed Reading from the ‘Hades’ Chapter, Ulysses, by James Joyce. Featuring Ian Blackmore, Terry Byrne, Joe Jordan, Val O’Donnell, Jim O’Keeffe, Blaise Reid. Duration: Approx 30 mins (Free)
1.30pm: Joycean Tour of Glasnevin Cemetery with Shane MacThomais. Tour tickets are €6.
