The postmodern production of Rejoyce continues with performances at 8 tonight and Saturday night in the Kleinau Theater, located on the second floor of the Communications Building.

The play, directed and arranged by SIUC graduate student Keith Pounds, is based on numerous works by Irish writer James Joyce. Pounds said Joyce has been described as one of the most obscure writers utilizing the English language.

Pounds said the performers’ job and the point of the play, which is presented by the Department of Speech Communication, is to make sense of Joyce’s writing.
