Set in 1904 and based on the last and best known of Joyce's short stories collected in The Dubliners, this intimate musical portrays a homespun Yuletide party with Irish music, dancing, food, drink and fellowship. The songs, many of them traditional sounding Irish melodies that are performed as entertainment by the partygoers, are all original. A New York Times review of "James Joyce's The Dead" called it "... quite revolutionary: a musical that dares to be different."
Northwestern theatre professor Karen Barker will play a guest role in the production.
