Teatime Talk: The Snug

14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street. By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of 14 Henrietta Street.

Our September Teatime Talk is a rehearsed reading of The Snug, a new play in development, written by local playwright and actor Ciara Byrne. Set against the humming heartbeat of Dublin’s tenements in the 1960s, The Snug follows the life of one woman, a survivor and a regular in the Snug, where she found both escape and community.

The Snug shows working class lives in a tender, gritty and unapologetically real way. This rehearsed reading gives audiences an opportunity to experience the work in its early stages. Supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport through the Night-Time Economy: After Hours at the Museum Scheme.

When: Thursday 24 September at 6:30 pm.
