What is Bloomsday 2008?

2008 marks the 104th anniversary of the day that James Joyce's epic novel, Ulysses, took place. The novel is set in and around Dublin, Ireland and follows the adventures of several characters, including Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus through a single remarkable day, June 16, 1904. Fans of the novel celebrate Bloomsday each year by reading from the novel, re-enacting scenes, listening to traditional Irish music, or hoisting their favorite Irish drink to celebrate their favorite literary work.

This webpage is dedicated to providing and maintaining a list of all Bloomsday events in the greater New York City metropolitan area and other major events around the world.

Time:   7:00PM ET
Location:   Peter Jay Sharp Theatre, 2537 Broadway, New York, NY (SW corner of 95th and Broadway).

For the first time ever in 27 years of celebrating James Joyce’s Ulysses, dozens of talented actors and avid Joyceans will perform the complete text of the “Ithaca” episode in an evening called Mr. Leopold Bloom Comes Home. After a musical interlude from Joyce’s “Chamber Music” performed by soprano Judith Kellock, the incomparable Fionnula Flanagan (Lost, TransAmerica) performs the “Penelope” monologue: Molly Bloom’s complete, uncensored nighttime thoughts as she drifts towards that final “yes.”
