Himself And Nora – Recital of Jonathan Brielle’s Musical Celebrating the Love Story of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle

"For Culture Night 2023, the James Joyce Centre proudly invites you to a recital of Jonathan Brielle’s acclaimed off-Broadway musical Himself and Nora, which celebrates in song the love story of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle. Broadway writer and composer Jonathan Brielle shall be performing numbers from the show in person and will be accompanied by the director of the James Joyce Centre, Darina Gallagher. With Andrew Basquille presiding over the evening, the audience can look forward to Broadway storytelling at its very best.
This bawdy, funny, uplifting, and melodic musical, sings the contemporary love story of James Joyce, the brilliant and hard-drinking Irish novelist, and Nora Barnacle, the woman who became his lover, partner, and muse for 37 years. Their love survived exile from Ireland and ultimately helped to create some of the greatest writing of the 20th century."
