Wild Geese Players, June 15




The Seattle Public Library - Programs & Events show

Summary: The groups' readings started in 1998, and last year they reached the concluding chapter -- Molly Bloom's soliloquy. This year, the cycle begins again. You'll hear the first and fourth chapters (known as Telemachus and Calypso), which are concurrent in the novel. There will be also be a brief introduction and explanation of the analogues to Homer's "Odyssey." The Wild Geese Players stage readings of Irish literature throughout the Seattle area. "Wild Geese" refers to the Irish diaspora, originally named after exiled Irish soldiers and their descendants who served in European armies in the 16th–18th centuries.
