Writing for Performance

In 2018 Letters to Lucia, a play written by Richard Rose and James Vollmar celebrating the life of Lucia Anna Joyce, James Joyce's daughter received its premier performance at Lucia's graveside in Kingsthorpe Cemetery, Northampton. Performed by the Triskellion Irish Theatre Company on Bloomsday (16th June) the performance was watched by an appreciative audience and gained some attention in the Irish Press (see below). The text, with accompanying production notes and the history of the play's development, and with an introduction by David Norris, was published in 2020.
