Soirée With Molly

Join us at The James Joyce Centre for an evening of song and the meanderings of Molly Bloom as she lays in her bed in the small hours of the morning performed by Caitriona Ní Threasaigh and Aching Shaiza on Satuday, June 15th at 7pm. Through this piece of stream-of-consciousness prose, songs are interwoven to enhance Molly’s story, giving a flavour of her operatic world as she contemplates her life and loves, past and present.
