Ulysses of Scranton

Scranton Fringe Festival and the New Vintage Ensemble • Professional company

60 minutes•Bedlam Theatre
An ensemble of actors rehearse their new production of James Joyce’s Ulysses, but as they progress through the infamously "impossible to adapt" work, they find the line between text and real life starts to dissolve. A theatrical remix of Joyce’s classic novel in which the voices and humour of Scranton, Pennsylvania in 2026 blend with the Dublin of the early 20th-century – the play keeps the heartbeat of the original while layering in contemporary stories to produce a fast-paced, funny and emotionally direct work. Knowledge of the original book is not essential for enjoyment!
