Alive Theatre presents LUCIA MAD by Don Nigro June 13, 2008

American playwright Don Nigro's sensuous comic drama about Lucia Joyce leads us into the literary world of Paris in the late 1920s and into the family life of Irish expatriate James Joyce who, in breaking the mold of the English novel, emerged as one of the literary icons of the 20th century. In dream-like sequences of memories, the play follows Lucia Joyce's attempt to find her place in a world that seems to be crowded by genius. As she traces her way into the depths of the human mind, she becomes the daughter of the Labyrinth, brilliant but lost, forever wandering, forever wondering, where do you go when there's no way out?

Paris 1928: Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein are coming to dinner. Your father is James Joyce, whose book "Ulysses" has made him a literary sensation-worshipped by some, hated by others. You are falling in love, head over heels, with the unknown writer Samuel Beckett who, alas, is more interested in exploring the subject of 'nothingness.'

$18 General, $15 Students/ Seniors.
