“Director and adaptor Jocelyn Adema’s decision to split Molly’s character into four parts and have the actors collectively play her consciousness in real time in one of genius [...] They refashion part of an inaccessible classic into one hour of poetry where the music of words and moving bodies vie for your attention as much as the meaning they convey.”
- Mooney on Theatre 

Molly Bloom is Fourth Gorgon Theatre's original adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses.
This unique piece of physical theatre lifts the character of Molly Bloom from the final chapter, written as Molly’s stream of consciousness, breaking her thoughts into a dialogue between four characters.
In this movement-based imagining, the four Mollies seem to move and speak as one body and mind:
four women become one, embodying the multiple facets of Molly Bloom's thoughts.

“The cast can only be considered as an ensemble as they work with synchronization that is tightly but naturalistically choreographed. They move from topic to topic with quicksilver speed, in unison, in overlapping contradictions, much laughter, and occasional gorgeous four-part harmony vocals.”
​- Drew Rowsome
