“A must-see Christmas gem”

The Irish Times

James Joyce's The Dead is one of the greatest short stories ever written. Thousands of people from Ireland and overseas have joined us at UCD Newman House for what critics described as a ‘sublime piece of immersive theatre’ ★★★★★ (The Stage), ‘a perfect adaptation’ ★★★★★ (The Arts Desk) and ‘joyous … infectiously festive’ ★★★★★ (Financial Times).

The Dead is produced by ANU Productions and Landmark Productions in association with the Museum of Literature Ireland. 

Please note that concession tickets are limited for each performance – over 10% of all tickets were provided at the concessionary rate. Concessions apply to under 18s, students, senior citizens and the unwaged - proof of eligibility required.
