SHEM THE PENMAN - A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE AND WORKS
OF JAMES JOYCE
MONDAY
MAY 3
WATERFRONT STUDIO 8.00PM
Marking
the Centenary of Bloomsday, the Cathedral Quarter Arts
Festival have invited Paddy Scully to present his award
winning Edinburgh smash, Shem the Penman, a stunning
interpretation of Joyce’s major texts.
In an extraordinary, often comic, stream of consciousness,
Dublin, its ghosts and apparitions are evoked giving
our hero a hard time in his Zurich refuge; the gossiping
Anna Livia washerwomen, dirty Bloom, Stephen Dedalus,
Gabriel, Gerty McDowell and the mob in Barney Kiernan’s
pub. All is words to him….words…words…and
more words’
"Scully expands himself into a whole pubful of
people. Great skill, very funny indeed" Times Literary
Supplement
"His evocation of the life and times of James Joyce
is a truly remarkable performance" The Scotsman
Tickets £7.00 available from the Waterfront
Hall on 02890334455 or the Festival Office on 02890232403
