“A bell clanged upon her heart. She felt him seize her hand:
-Come!
All the seas of the world tumbled about her heart. He was drawing her into them: he would drown her”

– Eveline

“Mrs. Mooney dealt with moral problems as a cleaver deals with meat: and in this case she had made up her mind” – The Boarding House
“They led her to the table amid laughing and joking and she put her hand out in the air as she was told to do. She moved her hand about here and there in the air and descended on one of the saucers. She felt a soft wet substance with her fingers and was surprised that nobody spoke or took off her bandage.” – Clay

Birth. Love. Death. 100 years ago to now.
Immerse yourself in the hidden worlds of Eveline, Clay and The Boarding House, three short stories by one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers, James Joyce. Dubliners’ Women shines a light on the female narratives in Joyce’s iconic collection of stories, and their resonances with Ireland today.

Directed by Sarah Baxter

Reviews

  • “[This] production of three of Joyce’s Dubliners is a credit to the great man…”
    “…A delicate, balanced and wistful evening of theatre
    ”
    “…[Joyce] would have felt his immortal stories well served by this production, lit as well as it is directed and played“

    -- THE SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
  • “A delight to watch – ****”
    “…Old fashioned storytelling that is touching, funny, and performed with gusto by a marvellous cast”
    “An hour of near impeccable theatre”

    -- THE REVIEWS HUB
  • “A clever, lively and thoroughly enjoyable production…”
    “…inventive and deeply engaging”
    “‘Dubliners Women’ exudes a lively sense of playfulness immersed in an exceptional interplay of light and shadow”

    -- THE ARTS REVIEW
  • “All of the stories give rich play to Joyce’s humour and there is a great evocation of Edwardian Dublin”
    “Sarah Baxter directs each of the stories with elan. The end result is a need to go back to Joyce’s stories and delight in them once again. An enjoyable adaptation of Joyce’s first major work.”

    -- NO MORE WORKHORSE
  • “[O’Kelly] rightly suspects that the power of Dubliners lies in how it brings the limits of what we can see into focus”
    “Deft cast…affectionate staging…thoughtful lighting”
