Counterparts & A Little Cloud From James Joyce’s DUBLINERS

ADAPTED & DIRECTED BY: Jim Roche & Liam Hourican

These two short stories adapted from James Joyce’s iconic collection ’Dubliners’, 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. A charming, gripping and emotional piece of theatre that has been wowing audiences both nationally and internationally
