About Ulysses

James Joyce’s Ulysses has fascinated, perplexed, scandalized, and/or defeated readers for

over a century. Building on a rich history of staging modernist works — Gatz, The Sound and the

Fury, The Select (The Sun Also Rises) — Elevator Repair Service now takes on this Mount

Everest of 20th Century literature. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find

themselves careening on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles, guzzling pints,

getting in brawls, philosophizing, and committing debaucheries. With madcap antics and a

densely layered sound design, ERS presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming

masterpiece. Ulysses (working title) will premiere at Fisher Center at Bard in September 2023.
