This event has ended

Abbey Theatre, Sunday 14th August

After ten sold out seasons at the Irish Arts Centre in New York, and two highly successful Irish tours in 2017 and 2019, Muldoon’s Picnic comes to the Peacock Theatre for one night only!

An omnium-gatherum of poetry, prose and music, Muldoon's Picnic is hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon. Muldoon will be joined by house band Rogue Oliphant, a collective of musicians and composers including Cait O’Riordan (The Pogues). Special musical and literary guests on the night include Iarla O’Lionard, Nick Laird, and Zadie Smith.

The title ‘Muldoon’s Picnic’ refers to a popular 19th-century New York vaudeville act, which inspired the New York based Paul Muldoon to begin hosting these carefully blended evenings of literature and music back in 2014.
