Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake

Based on the stage play Passages from Finnegans Wake which in itself is based on random passages from Finnegans Wake, Mary Ellen Bute's adaptation is a comical avant-garde black and white kaleidoscope about a man named Finnegan who dreams about his wake and then wakes up from his dream so the "wake" has a double meaning. Now you don't have to read 1400 pages unless you want to.
