KING HOUSE EVENT
Revolted is a
brace of solo plays by Donal O’Kelly to bark Bloomsday 2015. Joyced traces
James Joyce’s odyssey through Dublin up to his departure into exile. The
performance earned Katie O’Kelly a “Best Solo Performance” in Edinburgh. Hairy
Jaysus tells the story of Joyce’s friend Sheehy-Skeffington, the forgotten
executed man of 1916. Sheehy-Skeffington
was a pacifist and campaigner for votes for women. He was jailed under hard
labour in June 1915, exactly a century ago for making forty speeches against
recruitment to the British Army. Both shows together prompt the question – who
was the more revolutionary in outlook - Sheehy-Skeffington or Joyce. Taking
