Paris, 1928. Still basking in the global fame of his novel Ulysses, James Joyce hires bright-eyed graduate Samuel Beckett to be his literary assistant. Together they are tasked with Joyce’s most ambitious project yet: the avant-garde epic that is Finnegans Wake. But under mounting pressure from his publisher and with Beckett’s own star on the rise, Joyce struggles to live up to the world’s great expectations.

A performance of the opening act of Then We Fall, as part of the Downing Festival of New Writing.
