Her Singtime Sung

A comic play in three Acts featuring Joyce and his women, by Roslyn Hames, Frances Devlin-Glass and Di Silber.

A runaway bride encounters a Joyce-channelling bookseller, his thoroughly modern Molly, JJ himself, his publisher and chief patron, and a ferocious ex-wife who fancies herself as Bella Cohen.
