About this event

Back by popular demand, Volta’s critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud has been expanded to include adaptations of three stories from Joyce’s debut work — Two Gallants, A Little Cloud, and Counterparts — as part of the Bloomsday Festival.

These three short stories are vivid “slices of life” from early 20th century Dublin. Stunningly accompanied by live music, they portray a society in paralysis in immaculately detailed scenes: in Two Gallants, a couple of ne’er-do-wells mooch around Dublin on the make. A Little Cloud sees a sensitive soul thrown by a meeting with an old college friend back from London, while Counterparts takes us on a doomed pub crawl with an ungainly, bad-tempered law clerk.

WRITTEN BY James Joyce

ADAPTED & DIRECTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche

15 - 20 June 8pm + 17 June 3pm
