14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks a series of talks inspired by the history and people of Henrietta Street. By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of the house.

Our September Teatime Talk is a rehearsed reading of The Snug, a new play in development, written by local playwright and actor Ciara Byrne. Set against the humming heartbeat of Dublin’s tenements in the 1960s, The Snug follows the life of one woman, a survivor and a regular in the Snug, where she found both escape and community.

The Snug shows working class lives in a tender, gritty and unapologetically real way. This rehearsed reading gives audiences an opportunity to experience the work in its early stages.

When: Thursday 24 September at 6.30 pm.

💬 “14 Henrietta Street now means something profound to Dublin. It serves as a bridge between the generations,” said Lord Mayor of Dublin Daryl Barron during the ceremony.

💬 “This museum stands as a beacon of what we can achieve when we protect our shared history,” said Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne TD, highlighting the importance of continued investment in heritage to sustain the communities and human stories held within historic buildings.

💬 “At 14 Henrietta Street, everything we do is shaped by listening to, engaging with and learning from the people who connect with the house and its history,” said Iseult Dunne, Chief Executive of Dublin City Council Culture Company.
