On Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 2:00 PM, The Wild Geese Players of Seattle will present their 28th annual Bloomsday celebration: a staged reading from Ulysses, James Joyce’s groundbreaking modernist novel, at the Ballard Public Library (5614 22nd Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107). The performance is free and open to the public.
This year’s reading will feature Episode 15 –”Circe”, Part 2, a chapter full of hallucinations and nightmares that 1920’s censors found particularly objectionable. “Circe” takes place in Dublin, Ireland’s red-light district, “Nighttown”, and features sex-workers, cross-dressing, gender-fluidity, adultery, bestiality and other hidden fears and desires of Leopold Bloom, the novel’s hero.
