Once Off Productions and Colin Murphy presents The United States v. Ulysses by Colin Murphy at Town Hall Theatre.

THE UNITED STATES V. ULYSSES is a bawdy courtroom drama that tells the true story of the New York trial that liberated Joyce’s Ulysses from American censorship.

Ulysses was banned on first publication in the States – but then a hungry young publisher and an ambitious lawyer teamed up to take on the Puritans.

Can they convince the judge that Ulysses is not obscene? And what happens when Ulysses gets under their skin – and Molly Bloom gets into their heads?

Supported by Pavilion Theatre and the Arts Council.
