Twelve Countries, twelve voices, twelve venues, one great evening. A bright spring evening wandering around St. Stephen's Green in Dublin listening to well known Irish people evoking life in modern Europe - maybe stopping for a drink on the way...does that sound enticing?

Words on the Street - European Literature Night will happen in cities across Europe on the same night - Wednesday 15th May. In Dublin well known Irish people will read contemporary writing from twelve European countries in twelve venues, many of which are unusual and not normally easily accessible to the public.

Rosaleen Linehan, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Eamon Morrissey, Seana Kerslake (IFtA shorlisted), Bryan Murray, Ray Foley (98fm DJ), Rick O'Shea (2fm DJ), Sinead Desmond (Ireland AM), Mark Cagney (Ireland AM) and Niamh Sharkey (Children's Laureate) will be joined by others in places such as Royal College of Surgeons, Stephen's Green Hibernian Club, Little Museum of Dublin, Constitution Room in the Shelbourne Hotel, Taylor Galleries, Boston College, 6 Ely Place, Loreto College, The Sugar Club, Iveagh House, Newman House and Newman University Church.
