The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Performance Central series is set to present the award-winning Irish theater artist Olwen Fouéré in her acclaimed one-woman show, riverrun, based on James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake.

Performances are set for 8 p.m. on September 25 and 26 at the Matthews Acting Studio, located at 185 Nassau Street in Princeton.

Fouéré will also talk about her work in conversation with Lewis Center chair Michael Cadden and Irish theater critic Fintan O’Toole on September 24 at 4:30 p.m. at the Stewart Theater, also located at 185 Nassau Street.

Riverrun premiered in Ireland in July 2013 at the Galway International Arts Festival and was subsequently presented at the Kilkenny Arts Festival, Dublin Theatre Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and by The National Theater of London.

Free tickets are required for the performances of riverrun. No tickets are needed to attend the conversation.
