Finnegans Wake Chapter 9 — also known as Book II, Chapter 1 — is framed as a pantomime, "The Mime of Mick, Nick and the Maggies," making the historic Winchester Street Theatre the perfect setting for this live taping.
"Harte has found a way to crack the private code and maintain the original voltage… of one of the most funny and challenging novels of the 20th century, Joyce's Finnegans Wake, in a first-of-its-kind filmed reading series." —Cahir O'Doherty, The Irish Voice
