Love's Bitter Mystery,  written by Steve Carey and directed by Jennifer Sarah Dean (Moulin Rouge) is brought to you, belatedly in 2021,  by Bloomsday in Melbourne. A biographical play about a critical year in the life of James Joyce, it's a new, immersive theatrical experience, set in Paris and Dublin in 1903-4.  It addresses this question: how does a young nobody become the most lionized author of the twentieth century? 

Let us take you through the stately rooms of the spookily atmospheric Victorian mansion Villa Alba, a spectacular set for this play, to witness love, death, sex and violence… and the two powerful women who made James Joyce.
