Mid-July, the schools are out and the theatres are pulling the weight this week. Two big touring shows anchor the Dublin stages, and there’s a quieter, useful one for the Laois business crowd if you fancy putting a face to a few local names.
The headline is Riverdance marking 30 years with a new-generation cast at the Gaiety, running most nights. Here’s how the week shapes up so you can pick your evenings early.
