The James Joyce Centre is proud to host once again two performance of the Volta Theatre Company's popular Counterparts & A Little Cloud, an adaptation of two short stories from Joyce’s Dubliners, on Thursday and Friday, 14 and 15 November 2024 at 7.30pm.

Joyce's collection of short stories provides vivid ‘slices of life’ of early 20th century Dublin. Against the backdrop of a society in paralysis, a pair of Dublin lives are revealed in stark, sometimes brutal, scenes. Performed by two actors in the iconic setting of the Joyce Centre’s Georgian drawing room, and featuring period music, this is an exquisite, intimate study of Joyce’s Dublin and its lives of quiet desperation.

Doors open at 7pm.
