Strolling Through Ulysses! Tells the fun-filled story of Bloomsday – June 16th, 1904 – the iconic day around which James Joyce’s Ulysses is based, guiding you through the curious events and quirky characters of Ulysses, in a humorous, entertaining, and informative manner, with extracts from the novel which best illustrate the various aspects of Joyce’s writing – the comical, the descriptive, and the complex – without compromising the integrity of the great book.

Joyce, speaking about Ulysses once famously declared, ‘there is not one serious line in it’. Strolling Through Ulysses! Certainly, proves that! It is Bawdy, irreverent, and great fun!

So, hold on to your hats, and take a deep breath as Robert Gogan takes you on a 75-minute romp through the fun and laughter, which is the backbone of James Joyce’s extraordinary and celebrated novel, which includes a toilet visitation, a bar room brawl, an act of seduction, naughty shenanigans on a beach, lewd thoughts, adultery, and a drunken orgy – all in a single day!
