Patti Smith as Shakespeare

[Aphinar]

Sheila Callaghan's play _Dead  city_ 

"produced by New Georges and running 
    through June 30 at  3LD Art & Technology 
    Center at 80  Greenwich Street, in Lower 
    Manhattan, roughly  follows the outline of 
    James Joyce's 1922  chestnut 'Ulysses.' 
 
    "New York stands  in for Dublin; Samantha 
    Blossom, a  middle-aged freelance consultant, 
    stands in for  Leopold Bloom; Jewel Jupiter, 
    a self-destructive  poet, for Stephen Dedalus; 
    and the singer  Patti Smith, as the object of 
    Jupiter's  absorption, for Shakespeare." 
 
-- Campbell Robertson "A June 16 in the  city: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes", 
The New York times, 16 June 2006, page  E1.
