FULL DAY’S EPIC
In 1914, the epiphany that awakened the world’s imagination to the battered yet tumultuous city of Dublin, her streets, and her people, was a modest book that would become a defining Irish classic, James Joyce’s Dubliners.
Wonderland’s Dubliners is a self-guided walking tour on headphones, an epic tour from Dublin’s Docklands to Chapelizod, via Joyce’s adolescent years in North Richmond Street, which invites you on an historic walk of the streets and historic buildings in which Joyce set his short stories, whilst you listen to 10 of his classic stories in situ, as they are told and performed for you on headphones, by a large ensemble cast led by the celebrated Joycean actor Barry Mc Govern. This audio-guide also includes 21 extra feature tracks on Joycean Dublin.
