Regarded as one of the founders of early twentieth century modernism, Joyce redefined and re-imagined the possibilities of language, and remains a major literary influence.ĭubliner Aidan Gillen has won three Irish Film and Television Awards and has been nominated for a BAFTA, a Tony and a British Independent Film Award. The Dead uses scrupulous deadpan realism to present the story of a pedantic professor who experiences an intensely personal and brutal epiphany at his aunts’ annual Christmas party. The Dead is the last of fifteen stories that make up Dubliners, Joyce’s searing exploration of life in Dublin. This January Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, The Wire) brings James Joyce’s captivating short story The Dead to life alongside beautiful live music accompaniment by composer and pianist Feargal Murray (The Rape of Lucrece, Dublin Theatre Festival 2013). “ His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.” Presented by Dublin Theatre Festival | With music by Feargal Murray
