Bloomsday at the Hammer, 2012
- to This is a past program
James Joyce’s comedic pathos is unleashed in this fast-paced presentation of the Aeolus chapter from his classic novel Ulysses. The Hammer’s third annual Bloomsday celebration is set in the Dublin newspaper offices of the Freeman’s Journal and Evening Telegraph, where Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus almost meet face to face. Organized by Stanley Breitbard, this program features a stellar cast of seasoned actors: Bairbre Dowling, James Gallo, Kevin Kearns, James Lancaster, John Rafter Lee, Margot Norris, Johnny O’Callaghan, Joe Praml and Colin Simon. Come early to read aloud from Ulysses, enjoy live Irish music by the Sweet Set and a Guinness happy hour. Festivities begin at 4pm.
