About this experience
Dublin has more literary history per square mile than anywhere, and most of it happened in pubs. Two actors lead this one, performing the passages that were written about — or in — each bar you stop at.
It is far better than it sounds. The performances are short, sharp and funny, and the pints are properly poured.
Highlights
- Four historic literary pubs
- Performed passages from Joyce, Behan and Kavanagh
- Led by two working actors
- A pint included at each of the first two stops
