About this event

An after-hours exploration of the National Library of Ireland, 'Clay' and 'Eveline' with live readings and music.

Join Paul O'Hanrahan, actor, and Michael Holohan, composer and pianist, in a special dramatic and musical presentation of two stories from Joyce's Dubliners: Clay and Eveline. Both stories are set on the Northside of Dublin, especially the environs of Drumcondra and Fairview. Michael Holohan has a special affinity with these stories and has composed special music to accompany Paul O'Hanrahan's wonderful readings and dramatic interpretations.

Taking place in the front hall, the musical + literary performance will be followed by the chance to explore the iconic main Reading Room.

Free, booking required.
