Special BLOOMSDAY presentation in Auckland - Dancing in the Wake

Dancing in the Wake 
based on the life of Lucia Joyce, daughter of James Joyce

This play by Jan Bolwell blends drama, dance and music to tell Lucia’s story – diagnosed in her mid-twenties with schizophrenia – supported by her friend and troubled lover, the playwright Samuel Beckett, and having to struggle with the differing views of her parents, James Joyce and Nora Barnacle, on the state of her health.

Dancing In The Wake opened to critical acclaim at the 2012 Wellington Fringe Festival and is touring NZ with Arts On Tour NZ throughout June 2013.
