About this Event

Sponsored by the Government of Ireland’s Emigrant Support Programme and Culture Ireland

A part of Words Around the World

After a decade of ground-breaking film work, filmmaker and writer Dave Tynan brings us the “...gritty and soulful, spiky and incisive” (Colin Barrett) story collection We Used to Dance Here, a portrait of both Dublin and Dubliners in flux, exploring life on the margins, toxic masculinity, and frustrated ambitions. With dog tracks, late-night radio talk shows, pubs, messy break-ups, industrial accidents, and the reality of housing precarity, these stories show a darker, edgier side to Dublin and they do so in brilliant, crackling prose.
