Himself and Nora

The James Joyce Centre proudly invites you to two performances of Jonathan Brielle’s acclaimed off-Broadway musical Himself and Nora on 21 & 22 March at 19:30. The musical celebrates in song the love story of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle. Broadway writer and composer Jonathan Brielle shall be performing numbers from the show in person and will be accompanied by the Director of the James Joyce Centre, Darina Gallagher.

This bawdy, funny, uplifting, and melodic musical, sings the contemporary love story of James Joyce, the brilliant and hard-drinking Irish novelist, and Nora Barnacle, the woman who became his lover, partner, and muse for 37 years. The performance will coincide with Nora's 140th birthday.
