Dublin Event Guide (20-3-17 – 26-3-17)

By No More Workhorse on March 20, 2017 • ( 1 Comment )

So, we’re all recovering from Paddy’s day/ weekend or whatever it is at this stage. Fear not, as there’s still a lot going on to keep you entertained. The lone festival in town is the wonderfully named Plastik – which is a festival of “Artist’ Moving Image”. There’s screenings, happenings, talks and more.

It’s a pretty impressive week for Theatre with Dublin by Lamplight (Abbey), Educating Rita (Gaiety), The Eurydice Project, The Effect (Project Arts Centre) and a few more besides! It’s going to be a busy one.

Live Music is slightly less exciting, but there’s still Ride, Warpaint, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds and a few more besides!

The IMMA Collection Freud Project is a must see! National Gallery of Ireland has the ‘Beyond Caravaggio‘ until 14th May. Book now or feel awful silly!
