One-time friends and life-time enemies James Joyce and Oliver St John Gogarty are now locked together forever in the famous opening pages of Joyce’s Ulysses set in the Martello Tower at Sandycove. The Tower imagines what they might say to each other - with a century of hindsight and a helping of the wit and irreverence that made them famous - if they met there again today. Directed by Caroline FitzGerald and starring two of Ireland’s greatest actors, Tom Hickey as Joyce and Bosco Hogan as Gogarty, in superb performances.
