The sell-out sensation The Dead, adapted and directed by Louise Lowe, is currently running from 21 Nov 2025 - 1 Feb 2026. This unforgettable production of Joyce's masterpiece takes place in the rich historical interior and unseen rooms of UCD Newman House. Audiences are greeted by the maid Lily – who is literally run off her feet – before taking the journey up the opulent staircase, to embark on an evening of laughter, music and dance – ending in an epiphany like no other.
