Description
Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn prize 2026.
Because everyone has a story to tell.
Dublin Gothic is a loser’s history of the city and its people, told through a joyous mix of literary styles. This extraordinary tragicomedy follows three generations of residents in one Dublin 1 house across a century of social upheaval.
Set against the backdrop of a transforming city and teeming with Dublin wit and character, generations of losers tumble through time, struggling against the villain of circumstance to create a shadow history of a city both strange and familiar.
This edition was published to coincide with the production at the Abbey Theatre in November 2025.
