James Joyce's "Ulysses" is celebrated by scholars and lay readers the world over -- and Washington is no exception. For the past 13 years, a handful of dedicated actors and savants have gathered for a marathon dramatic reading of the novel, which tells the story of two turn-of-the-century Irishmen, whose journeys one June day strangely parallel those of Odysseus and his son Telemachus in Homer's "Odyssey." This year, the Joyceans are back with four readings to be held at Kelly's Irish Times. The readings will feature longtime favorites Steven Hall-Williams, Robert Aubry Davis, Barbara Kaltenheuser and Mary MacLeod, as well as newcomers and surprise guests.
