About this event

Bewley’s Café Theatre with Volta Theatre Company and The Bloomsday Festival is proud to present the World Premiere of Cyclops by James Joyce, adapted & directed by Liam Hourican.

Leopold Bloom finds himself in the proverbial lion’s den of Barney Kiernan’s, subjected to the simmering antisemitism of the blinkered Citizen and a jeering entourage. A toxic mix of heavy drinking, Dublin pub banter and political discourse culminates in an explosion of xenophobic violence and an assault with a biscuit tin.

In CYCLOPS, Volta draws on its roots in cabaret and sketch comedy to conjure Joyce at his comedic best.

With music from two acclaimed musicians!

Mon-Sat at 1pm (doors open at 12.50pm) with an extra 3pm show on Bloomsday, June 16th
