The impossibility of a pure relationship and the "soul’s incurable loneliness" are the major themes of this short story, perhaps the most widely read of Joyce’s Dubliners. The story of the chance meeting of a bank clerk and a sea captain’s wife, though small in incident, is universal in context. Sian Phillips and Ray McAnally star in this Radio Telefís Éireann dramatic production. (53 minutes)
