Fancy a night out at the theatre and meeting new people? The intent of this group is to arrange meetups to go to an eclectic mix of theatre across Dublin a few times each month. Plan is to meet up for a drink and a chat before the shows.

About:
The table is set for Denis, arriving home from Dublin where he’s studying Medicine at Trinity College – a source of enormous pride for his besotted mother and of great resentment to his five other siblings.
But when word comes that he may have failed his exams again, the final straw breaks. Threats of deportation, lawsuits, bribes and counter-bribes escalate, as the family twist the fate of their whiteheaded boy to suit themselves. Never mind about the girls.11 attendees
Grace by James Joyce (Bloomsday Festival)
James Joyce Centre, North Great Georges Street, D01 WK44, Dublin 1, Dublin, IE"Grace” from Joyce’s Dubliners is a tale of booze, bombast and religious confusion that brilliantly satirises the role of the Catholic Church in early twentieth century Irish life. When struggling salesman, Tom Kernan (who also appears in Ulysses), is found drunk and injured in a pub toilet and brought home in disgrace to his long suffering wife, his friends hatch a plot to save him from his errant ways.
Please secure your own ticket on Eventbrite.
This acclaimed production features the actor and comedian, Terry O’Neill, who brings to life Joyce’s rare collection of characters and takes you on a hilarious journey from purgatory to paradise.
Dubliners, first published in 1914, is one of the great short story collections in the English language. By exploring the lives of his fellow Dublin citizens with unflinching realism, Joyce revealed truths both blasphemous and transcendent.“O’Neill does a terrific job…. comic ironies abound…” Irish Independent
