James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake doesn’t work like other novels. This show celebrates the wonders of the basic stuff of life. We discover, along the way, that the Wake’s infinite complexity comes from attention to our most simple, elemental experiences (of dreams, of water, of local and familiar language).
