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.
