#LYCS presents our Summer Production - Gulysses: The Gulls Are Back in Town! This play is inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses and follows the story of two seagulls on their journey through Dublin as they get a bird-eye view of the issues facing modern Ireland and the wider world.

Our adventurers met Síle the Seal, a couple of jellyfish, and a few friendly shadow fish on their way down into the deep sea! They were able to explore their own storytelling skills in an interactive setting while learning about protecting our planet and sharing our space and resources.
