The Joyce Family in their Sunday best, with Sam Beckett en route to a restaurant. End of Act One.
I’m happy to have produced, directed, and edited Michael Hastings’ 2004 RSC-commissioned play “Calico” about Lucia Joyce with such a wonderful cast for Bloomsday Festival 2021:
James Joyce: Phelim Drew
Nora: Paula Greevy-Lee
Lucia: Evanna Lynch
Giorgio: Ross Gaynor
Helen: Aisling O’Mara
Samuel Beckett: Aidan Moriarty
Tom MacGreevy: Jack Walsh

There is eating and drinking in this play (literally). Act One is one hour twenty minutes; and Act Two is one hour ten. Netflix you can eat your heart out! I recommend watching in two sittings, over a couple of nights, with a tincture of something in the area of Beckett’s favourite bitter, Fernet Branca in hand. In the interval, we are offering our short dance film “Lucia Joyce: FULL CAPACITY” to cast light on Lucia the artist.
Bon voyage to 1920s Paris!
