"“riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay...”[1] Adherents of James Joyce’s 1939 tome Finnegans Wake espouse the idea that its language comes to life only when read aloud. Singlehandedly validating that claim, formidable Irish actress Olwen Fouéré, assuming the role of the river Liffey, offers this incandescent interpretation of the final section of Joyce’s “book of the night.” A force of nature possessed of every crackling phrase, Fouéré (who also adapted and directs the piece) turns Joyce’s prose into an undulating soundscape, inhabiting the voice of Anna Livia Plurabelle, the river’s personification, as she swells and surges her way through the Wake’s end and out to sea."
Note, too that there is also this discussion with Simon Critchley, "On Truth (and Lies) in Joyce", connect'd with riverrun ::
http://www.bam.org/talks/2014/on-trut...
"Irish performer Olwen Fouéré joins philosopher Simon Critchley to discuss the lasting influence of James Joyce, from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, to the twisting of Greek epic form in Ulysses, to Finnegans Wake, the subject of Fouéré’s riverrun."
riverrun has a series of dates in Scotland ::Traverse Theatre, July 29-Aug 24, various times.
