In this evocative audio adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses, young poet Stephen returns to Dublin from Paris to confront his mother's deathbed, but he refuses to fulfill her last request. Isolated in a Martello tower, he grapples with the taunts of Buck Mulligan by day and haunting memories by night. This rich portrayal of human life goes beyond Stephen's journey, featuring a mix of reading and dramatization, including the renowned Molly Bloom soliloquy, and is brought to life by actors Stephen Rea and Sinead Cusack, with an introduction by Seamus Heaney.
