'Joyce famously boasted that you could rebuild Dublin from the pages of his epic, Ulysses, the most admired novel of modernity. The play, Getting up James Joyce’s Nose , takes up this challenge: could you reconstruct the smell of Joyce’s Dublin 1904 from the pages of Ulysses? Resoundingly its scripters claim, ‘Yes, Yes, Yes!’ To notice the insane meticulosity of his interest in smell, the Cinderella of the senses, and the sense most likely to be considered beneath notice by literary artists, is to be caught into Joyce’s radicalism as a thinker and his surreal comedy, and to engage with him as an artist in new ways.'

— Appears in: The Saturday Paper , 20-26 May 2017; 'Walking up to Frances Devlin-Glass’s front door, there’s the smell of wet earth and the rot of autumn leaves. My breath is visible in the cold morning air and the smell is not unpleasant. When Devlin-Glass opens the door and says hello, I’m surprised she has an Australian accent. I’d expected her to be Irish. She’s a Joycean who has taught James Joyce in Melbourne universities since 1976. She is also the director of Bloomsday in Melbourne, a group of Joyce enthusiasts who stage theatrical adaptations of his work. Their new play Getting Up James Joyce’s Nose, which is to be performed in the Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood in June, is a reworking of Ulysses and takes an odoriferous journey through the novel.'
