Bloomsday in Regent Square

Regent Square and environs host several Bloomsday events Sunday, June 16

10:00 AM - Crazy Mocha Cafe 4525 Liberty Avenue, Bloomfield We begin with Telemachos as “Stately plump Buck Mulligan” ascends the stairs of the Martello Tower in Sandycove, looks out over the “snotgreen sea”, and the events of Bloomsday are set in motion…

11:15 AM - Homewood Cemetery South Dallas & Aylesboro Avenue, Point Breeze Reading from Hades we'll accompany "poor Paddy Dignam” on his final journey to Glasnevin Cemetery with gossip and memories and dreams of immortality...

12:30 PM - Murphy's Tap Room 1106 South Braddock Avenue, Regent Square In Laestrygonians pause with Bloom in Davy Bryne’s “moral pub” as he eats "strips of sandwich, fresh, clean bread" and “Glowing wine on his palate lingered swallowed...”

3:00 PM - Frick Art & Historical Center 7227 Reynolds Street, Point Breeze (meet on the Great Lawn next to the mansion) Lured by the sweet song of different Sirens, Bloom and Boylan go their separate ways along the Liffey while from the saloon of the Ormond Hotel emerges a fugue of music and song and “a call…long in dying…”

5:30 PM - The Map Room 1126 South Braddock Ave., Regent Square In Cyclops the Citizen and his mangy mongrel Garryowen wait "for what the sky would drop in the way of drink" and politics, patriotism, religion and Bloom are the targets of his vitriolic verbosity...

8:00 PM - The Map Room And finally, from her jingling brass bed, Molly Bloom, her Leopold/Ulysses returned from his wanderings, draws us into Penelope, her ‘amplitudinous curvilinear' stream-of-consciousness soliloquy to bring Bloomsday to a close with its final, great, life-affirming “Yes.”
