Must end Saturday June 15th, 2:30pm Matinee.

The New Theatre & Smashing Times presents Sole Flower, Spidered Soul by Féilim James.

A new play about James Joyce & his daughter Lucia Joyce.

 

Somewhere in the afterlife, Lucia Joyce and her father James are awoken by an eloquent clown.

This funny and moving play pits personal ambition against love of family, all the while challenging prevailing notions about its protagonists:

Lucia as the mad daughter, and James as the genius father who did all he could to save her.

The duo’s joyful reunion soon gives way to old quarrels as they debate the reasons why Lucia spent nearly half a century in psychiatric hospitals. Clown, who holds the power to alter the past, presents James with a dilemma.

Will he erase his own literary legacy to afford Lucia a second chance in life, or will he keep things as they were?
