“Come and See Me, I’m a Crossword Puzzle” rehearsal with Kathleen Warner Yeates and Lucia Kickham, November 4th, 2022

In “Come and See Me, I’m a Crossword Puzzle” we mark the 40th anniversary of Lucia Joyce’s December 1982 death on the eve of her Saint’s day, in Northampton, England. In the Julian calendar, Saint Lucia’s day coincided with the Winter Solstice. Join our Saint Lucia’s Day procession celebrating light and love in the dark heart of winter as, anchored by verbatim text, we highlight Lucia’s overlooked creativity, and artistic achievements. Add your candle to the annual Joyce family Saint Lucia’s Day ritual, in honour of our misunderstood artistic ancestor, Lucia Anna Joyce. Through dance, discussion, theatre and exhibition, Deirdre Mulrooney has created a beautiful evening to celebrate Lucia Joyce with performances by dancer Lucia Kickham and actors Kathleen Warner Yeates, Darina Gallagher, and the voice of David Herlihy.

The event is part supported by an Arts Council Agility Award.
