Much like the Irish Character, Dublin Tales are a mix of humour and tragedy. On our city walks a personal tour guide will show you a side of Dublin many are too afraid to show.
Dublin tales started as a collaboration of like-minded Dublin tour guides, who yearned to tell the tales of the city often untold. We have come together to present a hidden side to Dublin's culture and history. All of our tour guides receive a fair wage and equal hours.
The Irish are a wandering race and travel is in our blood. All of our guides have travelled extensively and have a genuine love for tourism. Our guides are unique, we consider them to be storytellers. They will not just give you travel tips and tourist information, but spin you a tale of adventure.
We pride ourselves on having experts in many fields, whether it be history, literature, the paranormal, comedy, alcohol or music. We have a wide variety of tours that cover the most interesting, bloody and hilarious aspects of Dublin's past an
Waiting for Godot was famously described by Irish critic Vivian Mercier as a play in which ‘nothing happens, twice’. I always saw the repetition in the first and second act as born from Beckett's own existentialist philosophy. Have a read of Camus's Myth of Sisyphus, the Titan is doomed to push that blasted rock up a hill in the underworld for all eternity, as we are all doomed to repeat the mundanity of life until we die.
Its so easy to get a gun with a phone an app or 3, wallet some coin, its on its way, found this out by accident looking for something that helps not kills, but if someone is coming for you or family its handy to know, make money not war ☘️
Beckett's classic play with an Irish flavour (albeit, with accents easily comprehendible to North American ears) . A wonderful combination of existential wonder and woe.
Every RTE documentary amazes me on its ability to exclude the north. Larkin already had 2 massive protests in Belfast and was there with Connolly. You’ll never see any of that on free state history junk.
When the Norse arrived in Dubhlinn two settlements already existed close to each other Baile atha cliath which Dubliners lived for around two thousand years and the oldest house found in 2020 in Dubhlinn was in copper alley which is not viking but older and is Anglo saxon
What’s interesting is how uninteresting celebrities are… just play music musician… play your tunes… I’m not interested one wit in your opinion on world affairs… not one…
Excellent production, although I’d love to see both the Leo McKern and Tim Roth ones again - they used to be up on RU-vid. But I really enjoyed this, thanks for posting.
Fine documentary - not only was this man, in my humble opinion, the greatest Irish Poet - he is also one of the great poets -the voice of his age and are age - a fascinating man
This isn’t a play it’s a homily. Mere philosophical babble, Elitist “synthetic” art masquerading as Drama. The playwright should abandon his title and adopt the moniker of “Preacher.” More fitting.
Catherine Greene was the mother of my grandfather Donald Herold Fleiss, the Second. She was Heir to the Irish ☘️🇮🇪 throne. Until Ireland 🇮🇪 became a republic. She was born on September 1st 1880.
A travesty. Geldof is truly awful, Bono like, with a deeply vulgar idea of poetry as he has of song. Everything is for sale in Geldof's world of Breakfast Television and Band Aid.
A haunting documentary on a beautiful poet. Especially the rendition of The Stolen Child. ... by Edna o Brien. ..... The unrequited love of Yates to a beautiful woman who conceived an enchanted daughter to another man ...on the grave of her dead son ..is the stuff of folklore . Bob Geldof shows his love of Yates and his love of London.
