Considered to be one of the greatest actors of the last fifty years, Al Pacino is instantly recognisable for his roles in such classics as Scarface, The Godfather, Heat, The Scent Of A Woman and Dog Day Afternoon.

The actor is beginning a worldwide speaking tour and, wouldn't you know it, he's headed for Dublin.

An Evening With Al Pacino - that's the name of the event - will take place in Bord Gais Energy Theatre on Sunday, May 24th.

Pacino's no stranger to our shores, having received the prestigious Honorary Patronage of Trinity's Philosophical Society in 2012.

Tickets go on sale for the event on Wednesday, April 1st through Ticketmaster and usual outlets.
