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: Eveline, A Little Cloud,and Counterparts.
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 Eveline, a young woman agonises over eloping to Buenas Aires with her sailor lover. 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.
At once funny and tragic, Joyce’s tales are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars.
