Ulysses

Ulysses

Sometimes my work is SO subtle you may not even notice it.
Sometimes my work is SO secret I can't even tell you what it is (without ruining it!)
Well, there is a moment in Ulysses by Elevator Repair Service that is very much that.
I guess I could say it's an illusion of one person in two places at the same time! (A split second!)
I've said too much!
The next time the show is playing, go check it out! 
Amazing Work by an Amazing Group!


Ulysses
Venue Martinson Hall (PUBLIC THEATER, NYC)

Created by Elevator Repair Service 
Text: Ulysses by James Joyce 
Co-Direction and Dramaturgy by Scott Shepherd
Directed by John Collins

Following last fall’s sold-out encore of Gatz—“The most remarkable achievement in theater of the decade” (New York Times)—Elevator Repair Service (ERS) takes on the Mount Everest of twentieth-century literature. James Joyce’s ULYSSES has fascinated, perplexed, scandalized, and/or defeated readers for over a century. In this New York City premiere, seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints, getting in brawls, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With humor, pathos, and a richly layered design, ERS stitches together verbatim passages from Joyce’s epic masterpiece into a two-and-a-half hour tour de force.
