“Does James Joyce know how to party? Apparently. Paul Muldoon and Jean Hanff Korelitz’s adaptation of the bittersweet short story, set over drinks and dinner at a holiday party, returns to the American Irish Historical Society. The Times called last year’s rendition “an unusually sparkling affair.” ”
Scenes from previous productions of THE DEAD, 1904
