BLOOMSDAY PLURABELLES

PLURABELLES is a dramatic evocation of the Woman in the work of James Joyce. To celebrate Joyce’s language the narrative is river-like, containing myriad currents, which convey the diverse facets of this ‘textual woman’.

Drawn from every area of Joyce’s writing, the words construct a portrait that shows her at all stages of her life, so that she becomes ‘Everywoman’. The single voice becomes the many voices in a poetic logic that interconnects The River of Words.

PLURABELLES was created directly from James Joyce’s work by Joyce scholar and University Lecturer, the late Paul Sheehan specifically for actor Maggie Shevlin to perform. All the PLURABELLES dialogue are Joyce’s own…

In her early career, Maggie Shevlin wrote and presented for children’s television and has appeared in many theatre, radio and television productions including Coronation Street, Harry’s Game, A Safe House, Inspector Morse and A Touch of Frost. Her play Cheatin’ Heart for BBC Radio 4 made Pick of the Week and Pick of the Year. Maggie is also a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mindfulness practitioner.She has performed PLURABELLES in London and the Edinburgh Festival.

Musician Eithne Hannigan generously volunteered to compose and record the show’s evocative accompanying music after seeing an early production of PLURABELLES.
