The Irish Writers' Centre is host to several exciting literary events over the next few months. Make sure you keep up-to-date and check their website www.writerscentre.ie or call the Centre on 01-872 1302. In the meantime here are just two events for the diary.
Milk & Cookie Stories
12th August 6.30 -9.30 pm Free admission
Milk and Cookie Stories is a non-profit storytelling group based in Dublin. Here is their mission: "We're looking to find out what stories our city has to tell. We believe that storytelling deserves to be placed in the spotlight. Dublin needs a place for people to come to hear a good story, and maybe tell one - they aim to provide that place. This event is free and everyone is welcome. Milk and Cookies isn’t just for writers and performers – we would like anyone who has a tale to tell, or wants to hear a story told well, to have a warm, relaxed environment to do just that. A place with tea, cushions, cookies and friends. All stories are welcome. Milk & Cookies!
Titter of Wit – lunchtime theatre
15th , 16th, 22nd and 23rd August 12.50 -1.50 pm.
A Titter of Wit is a hilarious journey through Irish literature in drama and song that is both entertaining and educational. Produced by Whirligig Theatre Company, the show features performances of humorous selections from O'Casey, Joyce, Wilde, Behan, Beckett and other great Irish writers, performed by versatile and professional actors in the elegant surroundings of the Irish Writers’ Centre in the heart of Dublin.
This fast-moving show lasts just 50 minutes – an ideal way to spend your lunchtime! A Titter of Wit was developed in 2010 by Ann Russell, Owen O' Gorman and Jessica Freed and was initially performed in Temple Bar with great success.
