“When I die, Dublin will be written in my heart”, James Joyce once said. There are few cities in the world that care so deeply about the written word as this historic capital. Walk down canals, stroll through Georgian squares, and cross the river, and you’ll find heritage plaques dedicated to famous writers, bridges named after them, and literary place names aplenty. Dubliners can spot statues of literary legends: like George Bernard Shaw at the National Gallery;Oscar Wilde reclined in Merrion Square;and Brendan Behan watching over the Royal Canal. Dublin’s creative outpourings are well documented in excellent museums and galleries around the city. The Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) features exhibitions on Ireland’s most influential writers and poets alongside unique literary artefacts, including the first ever copy of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Picking out one theatre above all others in Dublin is tricky—the Gaiety, the Gate and the Olympia have hugely enriched the city. No title in
