Playwright Michael West introduces the famous episode from Joyce's Ulysses in this short season celebrating the centenary of Joyce’s masterpiece.
Ronnie Walsh plays Leopold Bloom in the 1982 recording by RTÉ players, directed by William Styles.
The RTÉ adaptation was praised recently by John Phipps as 'a rare, enduring example of radio drama as art.’
The season coincides with the upcoming broadcast, this Bloomsday, of Ulysses in its entirety on RTÉ Radio 1 Extra, as well as the RTÉ Players’ adaptation of Dubliners and Joyce’s play, Exiles.
