About this event
The sell-out sensation returns!
Following a sold-out 8-week run, 5-star reviews and overwhelming demand for tickets, The Dead by James Joyce, adapted and directed by Louise Lowe returns later this year from 21 November 2025 - 1 February 2026.
James Joyce's The Dead is one of the greatest short stories ever written. Thousands of people from Ireland and overseas joined us last year for the inaugural production 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.
