SUMMARY:NO IRISH NEED APPLY?
DESCRIPTION:This new temporary exhibition within EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum asks how the millions of Irish people in England have fared over the past 200 years. Based on landmark economic history research using new big data analysis\, it tracks the wealth\, health\, and living standards of Irish migrants and families of Irish descent\, showing that the Irish were substantially poorer than their English neighbours for generations. \nNo Irish Need Apply? highlights the extraordinary contribution Irish women and men have made to the English economy and wider society through their hard work\, vibrant culture\, and political activism. The exhibition also includes the words and music of Irish migrants in England captured in Philip Donnellan’s 1965 film “The Irishmen”\, in collaboration with the Irish Film Institute. \nThe exhibition has been developed by the Department of Economic History at the London School of Economics & Political Science from research by Professor Neil Cummins and Professor Cormac Ó Gráda (UCD). It has been curated by Dr Christoper Kissane\, Engagement & Impact Lead\, LSE Dept of Economic History.

SUMMARY:Formal and Wild Landscapes by Fergus Martin
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr. Margarita Cappock \nAbout the exhibition\n‘Formal and Wild  Landscapes’ by Fergus Martin can be described as an exhibition of illusions and dreams.  It incorporates sculpture\, animation\, photographic prints and sound projections that connect at an emotional and subliminal level. \nEvery aspect of the exhibition\, from its commencement in the cube space to the culmination in the upper gallery\, provides the viewer with an invisible kinetic experience as the art works ‘ping’ against each other and relate sequentially to what the viewer will encounter next.   The animation has as its starting point an idea the artist had for a sculpture in a landscape and has taken on another life in the virtual world – a fantastical version of a pastoral scene. \nMartin notes\, ‘It was sparked by my always seeing hay bales from trains. They always seem mysterious to me scattered over the landscape and make me think of how leprechauns fooled people who wanted their gold by placing rocks or hawthorn trees everywhere.  These hay bales appear to have landed from space and sit there day and night in every season.’ Some of the works in this exhibition have featured in a recent exhibition at the magnificent early eighteenth-century Palazzo Birago in Turin in 2025.    Visitors now can view these works from an entirely different perspective here in the contemporary setting of the Lab gallery in Dublin. \nAbout the artist\nFergus Martin is an Irish painter\, sculptor and photographer\, known for his post-minimlaist aesthetic.  His most recent solo exhibitions were Space – New Prints – at Green On Red Gallery \, Dublin and Formal and Wild  – Landscapes at Palazzo Birago\, Turin\, Italy\, in Dublin.  Also in 2025\, he took part in the group exhibitions CAIM at Slane Castle\, curated by Jenn Ellis and Matilda Liu\, and Factory Made at Green On Red Gallery\, Dublin. \nIn 2020 Martin’s sculpture\, Oak\, was installed at the International Criminal Court in The Hague\, a gift from the Irish Government to the court; a new permanent sculpture\, Barrel was installed in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art\, Dublin.  Also in 2020\, his large-scale photograph\,Chair\, was purchased by the National Gallery of Ireland. \nMartin is a member of Aosdana and is represented by Green On Red Gallery\, Dublin. \n

SUMMARY:William Blake: The age of Romantic Fantasy | Dublin by Dusk
DESCRIPTION:William Blake\, a visionary artist and poet\, was a defining force in Romanticism. His imaginative and unconventional works continue to inspire today. This exhibition\, curated by Tate in partnership with the National Gallery of Ireland\, presents a selection of Blake’s most iconic works of art\, alongside paintings and drawings by his contemporaries. \nBlake’s world was one of fantasy\, imagination\, and the ancient past\, filled with fantastical creatures and visions of the underworld\, expressed through a wide variety of media. By placing him in context – among the artists he admired and those he inspired – the exhibition offers insight into an era of extraordinary originality and innovation in late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century art. Featuring over 100 works\, including by James Barry (1741–1806)\, Henry Fuseli (1741–1825)\, John Hamilton Mortimer (1740–1779)\, Thomas Rowlandson (1757–1827)\, and J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851)\, the show explores how artists responded to a time of revolution and transformation\, pushing the boundaries of their art into new imaginative territories. \nOrganised in collaboration with Tate. \nCurated by Anne Hodge\, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery of Ireland and Alice Insley\, Curator of British Art c. 1730 – 1850 at Tate. \nThis exhibition is supported by The William Blake Giving Circle.  \nThe Gallery would like to thank the Department of Culture\, Communications and Sport for their ongoing support.

SUMMARY:Cut Flowers by Oisín Byrne
DESCRIPTION:SO Fine Art Editions are pleased to present Cut Flowers by Oisín Byrne\, an Irish artist\, writer and filmmaker based in London. This new series of screenprints continues his exploration of scale\, bold colour\, floral form\, gesture and the passing of time\, and will also open at Connolly\, London\, on 1 May 2026. \nMoving fluidly between painting\, film\, performance\, sound and text\, Byrne describes his studio practice as a dialogue between focused\, reflective work and instinctive mark-making\, often exploring the shifting boundaries between conscious thought and intuitive gesture. His studio itself reflects this split: upstairs is used for filming\, editing\, teaching and reading\, while downstairs is for painting and drawing – Byrne describes his process as a movement between states of mind. After sustained periods of research or concentration\, he returns to drawing with urgency\, driven to capture the immediacy of subjects before they shift or disappear.

SUMMARY:CYCLOPS
DESCRIPTION:Adapted and directed by Liam Hourican​ \nWith live period music from two acclaimed musicians! \nLeopold Bloom finds himself in the proverbial lion’s den of Barney Kiernan’s\, subjected to the simmering antisemitism of the blinkered Citizen and a jeering entourage. A toxic mix of heavy drinking\, Dublin pub banter and political discourse culminates in an explosion of xenophobic violence and an assault with a biscuit tin. \nIn CYCLOPS\, Volta draws on its roots in cabaret and sketch comedy to conjure Joyce at his comedic best. \nAfter three sold-out runs of its critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud\, Volta Theatre Company returns to Bewley’s Café Theatre with an adaptation of the CYCLOPS chapter from Ulysses\, as part of the Bloomsday Festival 2026. Accompanied by a live band Joyce’s riotous and timely satire on Irish nationalism and Dublin drinking culture leaps blisteringly from the page.

SUMMARY:The Whiteheaded Boy
DESCRIPTION:“ – Glory be to God! Is it notions she has? – Aye\, notions. But they’re notions that cost me money!” \n\n\nThe table is set for Denis\, arriving home from Dublin where he’s studying Medicine at Trinity College – a source of enormous pride for his besotted mother and of great resentment to his five other siblings. \nBut when word comes that he may have failed his exams again\, the final straw breaks. Threats of deportation\, lawsuits\, bribes and counter-bribes escalate\, as the family twist the fate of their whiteheaded boy to suit themselves. Never mind about the girls. \nA smash hit when it premiered at the Abbey Theatre 110 years ago\, Lennox Robinson’s The Whiteheaded Boy is a raucous\, high-stakes tug-of-war between a generation who will do anything to keep their standing in the town and the young\, who just want to be free to do what they want to do. \nAward-winning director Annie Ryan re-imagines this bawdy and bold Irish classic with a contemporary eye and a sharp feminist wink to the past. Notions abound!

SUMMARY:Grace by James Joyce
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the world of James Joyce with a fun and lively Bloomsday Festival theatre performance at the James Joyce Centre. \n“O’Neill does a terrific job…. comic ironies abound…” Irish Independent \n‘O’Neill brings considerable energy and skill as the narrator’ Nomoreworkhorse \nThe James Joyce Centre presents Grace by James Joyce as part of the Bloomsday Festival on 14-16 June. \n“Grace” from Joyce’s Dubliners is a tale of booze\, bombast and religious confusion that brilliantly satirises the role of the Catholic Church in early twentieth century Irish life. When struggling salesman\, Tom Kernan (who also appears in Ulysses)\, is found drunk and injured in a pub toilet and brought home in disgrace to his long suffering wife\, his friends hatch a plot to save him from his errant ways. \nThis acclaimed production features the actor and comedian\, Terry O’Neill\, who brings to life Joyce’s rare collection of characters and takes you on a hilarious journey from purgatory to paradise. \nDubliners\, first published in 1914\, is one of the great short story collections in the English language. By exploring the lives of his fellow Dublin citizens with unflinching realism\, Joyce revealed truths both blasphemous and transcendent. \nShowtimes:\n14 June: 1pm\n15 June: 1pm\n16 June: 4pm & 6pm \nTickets are €20.

SUMMARY:Stories From Dubliners
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, Volta’s critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud has been expanded to include adaptations of three stories from Joyce’s debut work — Two Gallants\, A Little Cloud\, and Counterparts — as part of the Bloomsday Festival. \nThese three short stories are vivid “slices of life” from early 20th century Dublin. Stunningly accompanied by live music\, they portray a society in paralysis in immaculately detailed scenes: in Two Gallants\, a couple of ne’er-do-wells mooch around Dublin on the make. A Little Cloud sees a sensitive soul thrown by a meeting with an old college friend back from London\, while Counterparts takes us on a doomed pub crawl with an ungainly\, bad-tempered law clerk. \nAt once funny and tragic\, Joyce’s tales are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary\, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars. \n‘Exquisite… heart-rendingly perfect’ – Emer O’Kelly\, Sunday Independent \n‘Superbly articulated performances…’ – Chris O’Rourke\, The Arts Review \n‘A perfect hour’s entertainment…’ – Katy Hayes\, Irish Independent \nWRITTEN BY James Joyce\nADAPTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nDIRECTED BY Liam Hourican and Jim Roche\nLIGHTING DESIGN BY Colm Maher\nCOSTUME DESIGN BY Gillian Roberts\nSOUND DESIGN BY Feilimidh Nunan and Conor Shiel \nCAST Liam Hourican & Jim Roche \nTICKETS €21 | €19 (concession)\nRUNNING TIME 1 hr 10 mins no interval\nThe Bloomsday Festival takes place on 11 – 16 June 2026.

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Nuala O’Connor
DESCRIPTION:On Blooms Day 2026\, we are so delighted to welcome Nuala O’Connor into EPIC to discuss one of the most famous short stories in the world – James Joyce’s The Dead. The award-winning author has recently written an introduction for a new hardback edition of the story\, and at our Éire to Everywhere event\, she will further dive into the intricacies of this incredible piece of work. \nCopies of this new edition of The Dead with Nuala O’Connor’s introduction will be available to purchase on the night\, with a book signing following the event. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. \nAbout the Book\nThe longest short story in James Joyce’s 1914 collection Dubliners\, The Dead has had a cult following since its first appearance on shelves. It’s often considered one of the best short stories ever written in the English language\, and even over a century later\, it’s poignance holds true. \nDublin\, 6 January: the Feast of the Epiphany\, also known in Ireland as Women’s Christmas or Nollaig na mBan. Gretta and Gabriel Conroy attend the annual dinner party hosted by his aunts\, the Morkan Sisters. As the house on Usher’s Island fills with laughter\, music and dancing\, the secrets of the guests interweave. The festive evening culminates in a shocking confession by Gretta and a life-changing epiphany for Gabriel. \nAbout the Author\nNuala O’Connor is a Dublin-born author who now lives in Galway. She is a member of Aosdána\, the affiliation of creative artists in Ireland\, and holds a BA degree in the Irish language from Trinity\, a MA in Translation Studies from DCU\, and a Certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Galway. She has a real interest in the Irish diaspora – her latest novel Seaborne follows the life of Anne Bonny\, the Irish pirate\, who features within the EPIC Museum. The novel was shortlisted for Novel of the Year at the 2024 Irish Book Awards\, and was nominated in the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards. She has published a range of fiction\, short fiction\, and poetry throughout her career\, and has shown special interest in Joyce and his wife Nora\, even writing a novel entitled Nora in 2021\, and curating a previous exhibition on Joyce at the Museum of Literature. \nEndorsements of NORA\n“An exceptional novel by one of the most brilliant contemporary Irish writers\, this is a story of love in all its many seasons\, from ardent sexuality to companionable tenderness\, through strength\, challenge and courage.  Nuala O’Connor has brought to vivid life a woman about whom every literature lover has surely wondered and has done so with immense skill and daring.” Joseph O’Connor\, author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay \n“A lively and loving paean to the indomitable Nora Barnacle.” Edna O’Brien\, author of The Country Girls \nEndorsements of Seaborne\n“What an immense pleasure it was to read and what a gorgeous and perfect ending. I love how Nuala has given a full fictive life to this incredible woman\, and the women she loved\, showing us how ‘they cut their own paths. Knew their hearts.’ This book\, like Anne’s life\, is a fabulous voyage\, a wonderful\, buoyant tale\, sublimely imagined and beautifully told.” Donal Ryan\, author of Heart\, Be At Peace \n“SEABORNE is a rollicking triumph of passion\, and a powerful portrayal of Irish pirate\, Anne Bonny––a true original. Faultless in tone\, this novel is a wonderfully rendered reimagining of a great historical figure\, and confirms (what I already knew) that O’Connor is one of Ireland’s leading historical novelists. Filled with desire\, ambition\, bravery and soul\, this novel is a wonderful achievement.” Elaine Feeney\, author of Let Me Go Mad In My Own Way

SUMMARY:The Plot In You
DESCRIPTION:The Plot In You continue to move forward on their fifth full-length album and second for Fearless Records\, Swan Song. The Ohio quartet— Landon Tewers [vocals]\, Josh Childress [guitar]\, Ethan Yoder [bass]\, and Michael Cooper [drums] stare down years of negativity\, soured friendships\, disappointment\, and mistakes and flush it all away in the wake of hammering distortion\, towering melodies\, cinematic production\, and unapologetically cathartic lyrics. Ascending to the apex of an eight-year grind\, the band reached critical mass on 2018’s ‘DISPOSE’. \nThe standout “FEEL NOTHING” exploded with 28 million US streams\, while the project eclipsed 55 million US streams. Billboard raved\, “DISPOSE is the band’s most polished and cohesive work to date\,” and Alternative Press noted\, “DISPOSE makes it clear that TPIY challenge both the listeners and themselves more and more with each release.” Grading the album “9.0-out-of-10\,” Rock Sound predicted it “should finally and deservedly make The Plot In You a name that everyone knows.” \nThey supported the record by hitting the road with Underoath\, The Amity Affliction\, Like Moths To Flames\, Sum 41\, and more. After racking up over 100 million streams and receiving praise from Billboard\, Rock Sound\, Alternative Press\, and more\, the group wave off darkness with unassuming confidence and clarity on Swan Song ignited by the single “Face Me.”

DESCRIPTION:A man walks barefoot through the snow\, takes a long bath in an icy river\, then searches Craigslist for new-in-box cassette tapes from the early 90’s. \n\nHe lights a candle\, loads the tape\, and waits. \n\nHe’s listening for something unknown\, yet familiar: the edge. \n\nThis is a man staring down midlife with a renewed sense of vision\, a recently unearthed Tascam Portastudio\, and a call to embody masculine vulnerability through rock and roll song. \n\nIn other words…Theo Katzman is returning to his singer-songwriter roots\, with a series of intimate solo performances across the globe\, beginning in Europe and the UK. \nHe aims to pierce your heart. \n\nHis aim is true.

SUMMARY:Songs of ReJoycing
DESCRIPTION:The James Joyce Centre presents Songs of ReJoycing on Bloomsday\, Tuesday\, 16th June at 7.30pm. Songs of ReJoycing is a short musical celebration\, inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses\, with script and lyrics by Brian Gallagher and music by Shaun Purcell. \nThe show features six original songs and a reprise\, with all of the pieces based on scenes from Ulysses. The songs are introduced and put in context\, describing the characters involved\, the emotional background and the setting. By linking the text between each song\, Songs of ReJoycing is an accessible\, musical way into the novel and stars renowned musical theatre performers Mark O’Regan\, Barbara Galvin\, and Brian Gilligan\, with musical direction by David O’Connor. \nCome celebrate with conclusion of the Bloomsday Festival with songs\, readings and great company! \nBrian Gallagher was born in Dublin.

He collaborated with composer Shaun Purcell on the musicals Larkin and Songs of ReJoycing\, for which he wrote the book and lyrics\, and he produced Whiskey in the Jar\, a musical for which he also wrote the book and lyrics\, with music by David O’Connor. His most recent musical project is A Terrible Beauty in which he again collaborated with composer Shaun Purcell\, with musical direction by David O’Connor. \nShaun Purcell has a long involvement in writing musicals\, which were staged to critical acclaim in venues in Dublin and London. He composed the music for Brian Gallagher’s Larkin\, Songs of ReJoycing\, and Humphrey Truman’s The Man Who Knows. He also worked with Brian Gallagher on Winds of Change\, which was broadcast on RTE Lyric FM.
