Joe Joyce
Martello Tower, Sandycove, Co. Dublin
James Joyce and Oliver St John Gogarty were close friends in the year leading up to Joyce's departure from Dublin into self-imposed exile in 1904. The friendship, always strained by competitiveness, disintegrated into long-term enmity after a celebrated falling out in the Martello Tower in Sandycove which involved a nightmarish black panther and a real gun and formed the backdrop to the opening chapter of Joyce's masterpiece Ulysses. The Tower brings them back to Sandycove again in the present day, to recreate their relationship with humour and insight - and more than a century of hindsight - as they look back on their friendship, their art, and their lives.
