Leído por Daniel Reardon

(3.8 estrellas; 2 reseñas)

Exiles by James Joyce is a compelling play that delves into the complexities of personal freedom and societal expectations. In this 1980 RTÉ production, Daniel Reardon portrays Richard Rowan, a character deeply influenced by Joyce's own life experiences. His wife, Bertha, played by Barbara McCaughey, reflects the struggles of love and fidelity against the backdrop of a judgmental Irish society.

The play, written between 1914 and 1915 and first published in 1918, showcases Joyce's admiration for Henrik Ibsen, evident in its tense dialogue and exploration of individual versus societal conflict. As Rowan grapples with his own infidelities and the constraints of his environment, the narrative unfolds a rich tapestry of emotional and psychological depth.

Though lesser-known than Joyce's other works, Exiles offers valuable insights into the evolution of a literary genius, making it a significant piece in the canon of modern drama.
