THE CENTREPIECE OF OUR BLOOMSDAY IN MELBOURNE FESTIVAL IN 2023, EXILES, IS JAMES JOYCE'S ONLY PLAY. IT WAS DESCRIBED BY JOYCE AS A 'CAT AND MOUSE IN THREE ACTS'. IT IS DARKLY FUNNY AND A GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA.

EXILES BY JAMES JOYCE
15-25 JUNE 2023

Exiles fascinatingly offers a rollercoaster ride through the minds of a self-doubting Machiavelli, a Byronic lover, and a woman deeply in touch with herself and pathologically honest.

Published in 1918, Exiles is James Joyce's forgotten play, his only play, and rarely seen. Pinter belatedly re-discovered it in 1970, and it changed theatre history, and psychodrama. See for yourself just how far in advance of his age James Joyce was in writing this play.
