Last night I saw "HIMSELF and NORA", written by Jonathan Brielle. It is the story of James Joyce and his wife Nora. 

He authored ULYSSES, FINIGAN'S WAKE, PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN, DUBLINERS.It stars

Matt Bogart, and Jessica Burrows who give brilliant performances

in their roles.  Lovely songs about their relationship - "Stand Fast", "Always in Love", AND Irish dancing in "Pound & Weaver", and "River Liffey".  Joyce had help from Ezra Pound, and finally got

Ulysses published in the United States.
