‘A must see Christmas Gem’ - The Irish Times
Following two completely sold-out runs, The Dead by James Joyce, a thrilling immersive theatre experience, returns by popular demand to Museum of Literature Ireland from 20 November 2026 - 31 January 2027.
Adapted and directed by Louise Lowe, this unforgettable production of Joyce's masterpiece takes place in the rich historical interior and unseen rooms of UCD Newman House, where Joyce once studied. Join us for an evening of laughter, music and dance – ending in an epiphany like no other.
Due to high demand, advanced booking is recommended.
Produced by ANU and Landmark Productions, in association with MoLI.
