Stories from Dubliners
Blanchardstown, Co. Dublin
28 May 2026
Back by popular demand, Volta Theatre’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.

These 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.
