BLOOMSDAY AND A NIGHT FOR PALESTINE JUNE 16 - last call

[Denis McClean]

Dear friends of GLAS,

A big thank you to everyone who has been spreading the word about 'Blooming Ulysses', Gerry Farrell's  wonderful comic dive into the greatest novel of the 20th century. We are fast approaching an attendance of 200  and we can squeeze in a few more. We especially encourage students curious about, or already studying James Joyce's mighty tome, to come along for the special price of CHF10. 

Blooming Ulysses celebrates June 16, 1904,  now known as 'Bloomsday' in honour of the lead character Leopold Bloom, the wandering Jew of Dublin in whom Joyce invested so much of his own humanity and sense of humour.

GLAS has seen and loved this show. As the Sunday Independent review noted it's 'Delightful...a full mischievous celebration of life.' The Sunday Times declared 'hats off' to actor Gerry Fleming in one scene where he 'delivers an extraordinary stream of consciousness....triggered by the mundane act of turning on a tap.' 

We will donate the proceeds to the Palestine Red Crescent Society which has lost 48 staff and volunteers since the war broke out in Gaza in October 2023. The total number of humanitarian and medical workers killed in Gaza now exceeds 1,400. 

Prepare yourself for a very special evening in the hands of a wonderful actor, Gerry Fleming, who is normally to be found performing in Dublin or the US on Bloomsday but this year he's making an exception for GLAS.
