Ulysses of Scranton is a loose, loving adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses, creatively reimagined through the distinct lens of Northeast Pennsylvania. This original theatrical production takes the core narrative of Joyce’s epic and infuses it with local voices, humor, and lived experience. At its center is a group of actors attempting to stage the “impossible” novel, only to find that as they dive deeper into the text, fiction and reality begin to blur.
Characters morph, timelines collapse, and the stage becomes a liminal space where Scranton meets Dublin in surprising and poignant ways.
With a fast-paced blend of wit, heart, and homage, Ulysses of Scranton explores identity, memory, and what it means to adapt—on the page, on the stage, and in life. Both an accessible gateway to Joyce and a celebration of regional storytelling, this fast-paced new work proves the classics can still speak loudly and locally.
