Directors’ Note

This piece was born when Elevator Repair Service was asked to create a one-night-only performance based on Ulysses for the centenary edition of Symphony Space’s annual Bloomsday event in 2022.

Tackling this sprawling novel, which runs upwards of 750 pages and spans a dizzying range of literary styles, was an absurd proposition. It was also right up our alley. Over the past two decades of its 30-year history, our ensemble has developed an obsession with staging literature, particularly the works of early 20th century novelists. Our best-known piece, Gatz, is an 8-hour staging of The Great Gatsby that includes every word of the text. With Ulysses we’ve taken a less completist approach, drawing selectively from each of the book’s 18 episodes—using only Joyce’s words, but not all of them.

Though widely regarded as one of the great masterpieces of English literature, Ulysses has defeated many readers. Some say its reputation for difficulty is exaggerated, but the challenges are real. Joyce is a sworn enemy to exposition: instead of introducing a scene he drops you into it and leaves you to find your bearings in the unfolding action. Meanwhile he riddles the narration with stray thought fragments that seem to bubble up unfiltered out of the characters’ minds. Foreign-language passages are left untranslated. References to literature, philosophy, music, religion, and history are so numerous that some books explaining them are longer than the novel itself. There are whiplash swerves of style to contend with: one chapter, for example, is a bizarre playscript with hallucinatory stage directions; another is a long series of pseudo-scientific questions and answers.

Such challenges, if not seen as part of the fun, can obscure how warm and hilarious Ulysses is. Erudite references share the page with bawdy jokes, made-up sound words, popular songs, and every variety of bodily function. Like life, Ulysses contains more than the mind can easily assimilate or explain. Its affirming, all-embracing attitude is succinctly expressed in its famous final word, Yes, or in Bloom’s thoughts as he leaves the cemetery in episode six:

Plenty to see and hear and feel yet. Feel live warm beings near you. Let them sleep in their maggoty beds. They are not going to get me this innings. Warm beds: warm fullblooded life.

– John Collins and Scott Shepherd

A Very Brief Synopsis of Ulysses

The main action of the novel follows the wanderings and ruminations of Leopold Bloom, an ad broker, on a single day in Dublin: June 16, 1904. He’s staying out of the house to allow his wife Molly, a locally admired soprano, to begin a love affair with her concert promoter Blazes Boylan. The Blooms haven’t had sexual intercourse since their son Rudy died in infancy eleven years ago.

Stephen Dedalus, the hero of Joyce’s autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, is also wandering around Dublin. He returned early from a stay in Paris to be present at his mother’s deathbed. An avatar of Joyce himself, Stephen is a young writer with grand literary aspirations and a drinking problem. Bloom encounters Stephen late in the day and attempts to take him under his wing.

Molly appears briefly at the beginning of the novel, persistently inhabits Bloom’s thoughts, and finally commands our undivided attention in the final episode, after Bloom has crawled into bed beside her and fallen asleep in the imprint left by Boylan. Her reflections on the day and on her life end the novel in a long free-associative stream of thought uninterrupted by narration or punctuation.
