Photo Flash: James Joyce's Exiles in London
By: BWW News Desk Aug. 03, 2006
Exiles, the only play written by literary icon James Joyce, is currently being presented at the Royal National Theatre in London; it opened on August 2nd and plays through October 26th.
"Back in Dublin after nine years abroad, Richard (Peter McDonald) and Bertha (Dervla Kirwan) have to confront two other people who love them, and ask themselves questions about guilt and responsibility. Will infidelity hold them together? Exiles is a startlingly modern picture of marriage, based in part on Joyce's own relationship with Nora Barnacle. His only play, it was written in 1914 during his own self-imposed exile from Ireland, between Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses," state notes on the National Theatre's website.
