More about the book

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Dublin, this play explores complex themes of love, betrayal, and artistic ambition, drawing inspiration from "The Dead." Despite its initial rejection by W. B. Yeats for the Abbey Theatre, it finally found a stage in London in 1970 under the direction of Harold Pinter. As Joyce's sole surviving play, it offers a unique glimpse into his dramatic vision and the intricate dynamics of its characters.
