Charting Stephen's transformation into a man, we follow him through the major milestones and stumbling blocks of his life: his school days, his first romance, his loss of faith and finally to his initiation into the world of writing. In Arthur Riordan's witty and poignant adaptation of 'Joyce's manifesto', <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man </i>challenges perceptions of family, homeland, and the Catholic Church. <br/><br/>This edition of the adaptation was published to coincide with Rough Magic's world premiere of the production at the Dublin Theatre Festival in autumn 2018.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur Riordan</b> is a playwright, actor and founding member of Rough Magic Theatre Company.
