“Over more than a quarter of a century, through Bloomsday in Melbourne’s theatrical productions and our courses, we’ve introduced thousands of readers to Ulysses. Now we invite you to join us. You don’t need any prior knowledge at all, and we absolutely promise you won’t be put on the spot! We’ll be sharing some of our very favourite passages – and some of the juiciest bits too – and we guarantee that by the end of the day you’ll know this wonderful book a whole lot better, and have a really good idea of how to read it. After this day, there’ll be no stopping you!”
