Adapted by Hugh Leonard from James Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Stephen Hero"
A Play of the Month presentation with Donal McCann as Stephen Dedalus
Starting from 'Once Upon a Time and a very good time it was...' James Joyce evokes his childhood, boyhood and youth through schooldays, holidays, and the whole process of growing up until he leaves Ireland 'to discover a mode of life or art whereby my spirit can express itself in unfettered freedom.'
