NORA BARNACLE, famous as the liberated woman who stole James Joyce’s heart and who stood by him during numerous controversies, is the subject of a new play.
Nora Barnacle - Signora Joyce, an exploration of Nora’s youth in Galway and her early years as partner and muse of James Joyce, comes to An Taibhdhearc, Middle Street, on Bloomsday, June 16 at 1pm and 6pm, and from June 17 to 21 at 1pm.
