But Professor Biggs believes that what might have discomfited audiences in 1915 will engage spectators in 1997. The audience is kept guessing. The character based on Nora Barnacle will be played by Katherine Rowe, assistant professor of English. The roles of the local music teacher and her cousin, a Dublin journalist, will be enacted, respectively, by Laura King and Michael Thurston, both assistant professors of English. The public is welcome to attend the 90-minute reading, which is being staged without intermission.
Admission is free.
