 "What Ormond?  Best Value in Dublin":  A Special Extended Performance at the Ormond Hotel, Ormond Quay

  Balloonatics Theatre Company has provided theatre based on Ulysses in Dublin on Bloomsday for the last seventeen years.  The company strives to animates Joyce's work by matching the text with the actual locations in Dublin where the work is set.  Paul O'Hanrahan, who directs the company, has won two Edinburgh Fringe Firsts for his adaptations from Joyce: in 1983, for Circe from Ulysses with the Cambridge University Mummers and in 1990 with Donal O'Kelly and the Dublin Theatre Festival for The Wake from Finnegans Wake.  (quoted from the 2004 programme)



II. "Cyclops"

  An adaptation of Episode 12 of James Joyce's Ulysses, in Wynn's Hotel, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin.  Wynn's Hotel enjoys the rare distinction of a reference in both Ulysses 17.2258-59 and Finnegans Wake 137.05/609.15-16.  Presented with the authorisation of the Estate of James Joyce.  Supported by "ReJoyce Dublin 2004."  Directed by Balloonatics with Paul Dornan.


CASTS:

Paul O'Hanrahan as "Joe Hynes," "The Narrator" and "Martin Cunningham"
Chris Bilton as "Leopold Bloom" and "John Wyse Nolan"
Michael Greer as "The Citizen"

  The Bloomsday Centenary production of "Cyclops" brings together the original members of Balloonatics for the first time since 1988.  Paul O'Hanrahan, Chris Bilton and Mick Greer met as Cambridge University students in the early 1980s as a result of shared interests in acting, theatrical production and James Joyce.  Arising out of their Fringe First Award-winning production of the CECirce, episode from Ulysses at the 1983 Edinburgh Festival, they formed Balloonatics, a company which has specialised in theatrical productions based on the works of Joyce for the last twenty years.  Previous productions include "Nightfall" (from Finnegans Wake) (1985), Waiting for Godot (1986), Frankenstein (1986), At Sham-Four-Bards (1986) and Hamlet (1988).  The Company, based in London, performed regularly in Edinbuigh and Dublin, and at universities in Germany and Switzerland. (quoted from the 2004 programme)
