SUMMARY:The Whiteheaded Boy
DESCRIPTION:“ – Glory be to God! Is it notions she has? – Aye\, notions. But they’re notions that cost me money!” \n\n\nThe table is set for Denis\, arriving home from Dublin where he’s studying Medicine at Trinity College – a source of enormous pride for his besotted mother and of great resentment to his five other siblings. \nBut when word comes that he may have failed his exams again\, the final straw breaks. Threats of deportation\, lawsuits\, bribes and counter-bribes escalate\, as the family twist the fate of their whiteheaded boy to suit themselves. Never mind about the girls. \nA smash hit when it premiered at the Abbey Theatre 110 years ago\, Lennox Robinson’s The Whiteheaded Boy is a raucous\, high-stakes tug-of-war between a generation who will do anything to keep their standing in the town and the young\, who just want to be free to do what they want to do. \nAward-winning director Annie Ryan re-imagines this bawdy and bold Irish classic with a contemporary eye and a sharp feminist wink to the past. Notions abound!

SUMMARY:Bloomsday Festival
DESCRIPTION:Bloomsday celebrates Thursday 16 June 1904\, the day depicted in James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The day is named after Leopold Bloom\, the central character in Ulysses. The novel follows the life and thoughts of Leopold Bloom and a host of other characters – real and fictional – from 8am on 16 June 1904 through to the early hours of the following morning. \nCelebrations often include dressing up like characters from the book and in clothes that would have been the style of the era. One of the hallmark fancy dress items of Bloomsday is the straw boater hat. Celebrations come in many different forms like readings\, performances and visiting the places and establishments referenced in the book.

SUMMARY:Grace by James Joyce
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the world of James Joyce with a fun and lively Bloomsday Festival theatre performance at the James Joyce Centre. \n“O’Neill does a terrific job…. comic ironies abound…” Irish Independent \n‘O’Neill brings considerable energy and skill as the narrator’ Nomoreworkhorse \nThe James Joyce Centre presents Grace by James Joyce as part of the Bloomsday Festival on 14-16 June. \n“Grace” from Joyce’s Dubliners is a tale of booze\, bombast and religious confusion that brilliantly satirises the role of the Catholic Church in early twentieth century Irish life. When struggling salesman\, Tom Kernan (who also appears in Ulysses)\, is found drunk and injured in a pub toilet and brought home in disgrace to his long suffering wife\, his friends hatch a plot to save him from his errant ways. \nThis acclaimed production features the actor and comedian\, Terry O’Neill\, who brings to life Joyce’s rare collection of characters and takes you on a hilarious journey from purgatory to paradise. \nDubliners\, first published in 1914\, is one of the great short story collections in the English language. By exploring the lives of his fellow Dublin citizens with unflinching realism\, Joyce revealed truths both blasphemous and transcendent. \nShowtimes:\n14 June: 1pm\n15 June: 1pm\n16 June: 4pm & 6pm \nTickets are €20.

SUMMARY:Stories From Dubliners
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, Volta’s critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud has been expanded to include adaptations of three stories from Joyce’s debut work — Two Gallants\, A Little Cloud\, and Counterparts — as part of the Bloomsday Festival. \nThese three short stories are vivid “slices of life” from early 20th century Dublin. Stunningly accompanied by live music\, they portray a society in paralysis in immaculately detailed scenes: in Two Gallants\, a couple of ne’er-do-wells mooch around Dublin on the make. A Little Cloud sees a sensitive soul thrown by a meeting with an old college friend back from London\, while Counterparts takes us on a doomed pub crawl with an ungainly\, bad-tempered law clerk. \nAt once funny and tragic\, Joyce’s tales are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary\, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars. \n‘Exquisite… heart-rendingly perfect’ – Emer O’Kelly\, Sunday Independent \n‘Superbly articulated performances…’ – Chris O’Rourke\, The Arts Review \n‘A perfect hour’s entertainment…’ – Katy Hayes\, Irish Independent \nWRITTEN BY James Joyce\nADAPTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nDIRECTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nLIGHTING DESIGN BY Colm Maher\nCOSTUME DESIGN BY Gillian Roberts\nSOUND DESIGN BY Feilimidh Nunan and Conor Shiel \nCAST Liam Hourican & Jim Roche \nTICKETS €21 | €19 (concession)\nRUNNING TIME 1 hr 10 mins no interval\nThe Bloomsday Festival takes place on 11 – 16 June 2026. It is organised by The James Joyce Centre in partnership with Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport. \nABOUT THE COMPANY\nThe Volta Theatre Company is a new company with a mission to breathe new life into the classics.

SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Cities: The Dublins of Swift & Joyce
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The James Joyce Centre for a special Bloomsday Festival lecture on Monday\, 15 June at 6pm by Dr. Brendan Twomey about how the city of Dublin shaped (and were shaped by) two of its most iconic writers: Jonathan Swift and James Joyce. \nThis illustrated talk will use the Brookings map of Dublin of 1728 and Swift’s comments on Dublin city as a starting point. Swift and Joyce may have been separated by two centuries but to say that they were opinionated about their native city is an understatement. Both writers have instant global visual and literary recognition that is forever associated with Dublin and both are still relevant “after all these years.” Both sought\, albeit using very different registers and coming from very different social\, economic and cultural perspectives\, to capture the essence of the spirit of their home city as reflected in its people\, its politics\, as well as its physical manifestation in its streetscapes and its buildings. \nMost of all\, both hold a special place in the hearts of modern day Dubliners\, who celebrate their lives and works annually with the Bloomsday Festival and Jonathan Swift Festival. We ‘reJoyced’ in 2022 with the centenary celebrations of Ulysses. This year\, it is Swift’s turn as we mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of Gulliver’s Travels. \nJoin us as Dr. Twomey explores the “Dublins” of Swift and Joyce’s times\, weighing the merits of the old addage “the more things change\, the more they stay the same” and the literary masterpieces they have produced. \nDr. Brendan Twomey is an academic and retired banker. In 2018\, he completed his PhD in History at Trinity College Dublin. He has published extensively on the financial history of eighteenth-century Ireland. His current research interests are focussed on celebrating the 300th anniversary of the publication of Gulliver’s Travels\, first published in 1726\, and on continuing his research into the financial and legal affairs of Jonathan Swift. \nTickets are €10. \nThe Bloomsday Festival is organised by The James Joyce Centre in partnership with Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport.

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Nuala O’Connor
DESCRIPTION:On Blooms Day 2026\, we are so delighted to welcome Nuala O’Connor into EPIC to discuss one of the most famous short stories in the world – James Joyce’s The Dead. The award-winning author has recently written an introduction for a new hardback edition of the story\, and at our Éire to Everywhere event\, she will further dive into the intricacies of this incredible piece of work. \nCopies of this new edition of The Dead with Nuala O’Connor’s introduction will be available to purchase on the night\, with a book signing following the event. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. \nAbout the Book\nThe longest short story in James Joyce’s 1914 collection Dubliners\, The Dead has had a cult following since its first appearance on shelves. It’s often considered one of the best short stories ever written in the English language\, and even over a century later\, it’s poignance holds true. \nDublin\, 6 January: the Feast of the Epiphany\, also known in Ireland as Women’s Christmas or Nollaig na mBan. Gretta and Gabriel Conroy attend the annual dinner party hosted by his aunts\, the Morkan Sisters. As the house on Usher’s Island fills with laughter\, music and dancing\, the secrets of the guests interweave. The festive evening culminates in a shocking confession by Gretta and a life-changing epiphany for Gabriel. \nAbout the Author\nNuala O’Connor is a Dublin-born author who now lives in Galway. She is a member of Aosdána\, the affiliation of creative artists in Ireland\, and holds a BA degree in the Irish language from Trinity\, a MA in Translation Studies from DCU\, and a Certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Galway. She has a real interest in the Irish diaspora – her latest novel Seaborne follows the life of Anne Bonny\, the Irish pirate\, who features within the EPIC Museum. The novel was shortlisted for Novel of the Year at the 2024 Irish Book Awards\, and was nominated in the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards. She has published a range of fiction\, short fiction\, and poetry throughout her career\, and has shown special interest in Joyce and his wife Nora\, even writing a novel entitled Nora in 2021\, and curating a previous exhibition on Joyce at the Museum of Literature. \nEndorsements of NORA\n“An exceptional novel by one of the most brilliant contemporary Irish writers\, this is a story of love in all its many seasons\, from ardent sexuality to companionable tenderness\, through strength\, challenge and courage.  Nuala O’Connor has brought to vivid life a woman about whom every literature lover has surely wondered and has done so with immense skill and daring.” Joseph O’Connor\, author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay \n“A lively and loving paean to the indomitable Nora Barnacle.” Edna O’Brien\, author of The Country Girls \nEndorsements of Seaborne\n“What an immense pleasure it was to read and what a gorgeous and perfect ending. I love how Nuala has given a full fictive life to this incredible woman\, and the women she loved\, showing us how ‘they cut their own paths. Knew their hearts.’ This book\, like Anne’s life\, is a fabulous voyage\, a wonderful\, buoyant tale\, sublimely imagined and beautifully told.” Donal Ryan\, author of Heart\, Be At Peace \n“SEABORNE is a rollicking triumph of passion\, and a powerful portrayal of Irish pirate\, Anne Bonny––a true original. Faultless in tone\, this novel is a wonderfully rendered reimagining of a great historical figure\, and confirms (what I already knew) that O’Connor is one of Ireland’s leading historical novelists. Filled with desire\, ambition\, bravery and soul\, this novel is a wonderful achievement.” Elaine Feeney\, author of Let Me Go Mad In My Own Way

SUMMARY:The Plot In You
DESCRIPTION:The Plot In You continue to move forward on their fifth full-length album and second for Fearless Records\, Swan Song. The Ohio quartet— Landon Tewers [vocals]\, Josh Childress [guitar]\, Ethan Yoder [bass]\, and Michael Cooper [drums] stare down years of negativity\, soured friendships\, disappointment\, and mistakes and flush it all away in the wake of hammering distortion\, towering melodies\, cinematic production\, and unapologetically cathartic lyrics. Ascending to the apex of an eight-year grind\, the band reached critical mass on 2018’s ‘DISPOSE’. \nThe standout “FEEL NOTHING” exploded with 28 million US streams\, while the project eclipsed 55 million US streams. Billboard raved\, “DISPOSE is the band’s most polished and cohesive work to date\,” and Alternative Press noted\, “DISPOSE makes it clear that TPIY challenge both the listeners and themselves more and more with each release.” Grading the album “9.0-out-of-10\,” Rock Sound predicted it “should finally and deservedly make The Plot In You a name that everyone knows.” \nThey supported the record by hitting the road with Underoath\, The Amity Affliction\, Like Moths To Flames\, Sum 41\, and more. After racking up over 100 million streams and receiving praise from Billboard\, Rock Sound\, Alternative Press\, and more\, the group wave off darkness with unassuming confidence and clarity on Swan Song ignited by the single “Face Me.”

SUMMARY:Theo Katzman
DESCRIPTION:A man walks barefoot through the snow\, takes a long bath in an icy river\, then searches Craigslist for new-in-box cassette tapes from the early 90’s. \n\nHe lights a candle\, loads the tape\, and waits. \n\nHe’s listening for something unknown\, yet familiar: the edge. \n\nThis is a man staring down midlife with a renewed sense of vision\, a recently unearthed Tascam Portastudio\, and a call to embody masculine vulnerability through rock and roll song. \n\nIn other words…Theo Katzman is returning to his singer-songwriter roots\, with a series of intimate solo performances across the globe\, beginning in Europe and the UK. \nHe aims to pierce your heart. \n\nHis aim is true.

SUMMARY:Mount Eerie
DESCRIPTION:bio: Phil Elverum\, b. 1978 \nI grew up five miles into the woods outside the island town of Anacortes\, Washington during the 80’s and 90’s in a post-hippie echo that normalized saying “hello” out loud to the nearby mountains\, waters and animals. As a teenager\, entering the world of music and creation through the door that punk tore open\, I finally found my people in Olympia. I lived there for 5 years and released records as the Microphones with the K label. Now I make Mount Eerie records\, since 2003\, and release them myself on a fake record label\, stubbornly still DIY to the bone. I have a devotion to this life of creativity and subversion that has never wavered. These songs and works dig down into the bedrock of this place and try to bring forth a fresh exhale\, a big picture glimpse\, small beneath the sky\, clear water trickling.
