Among the venues at this year's Dublin Theatre Festival: the famous Abbey Theatre, founded in 1903 by W B Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory, the Gate Theatre, where Orson Welles, James Mason and Michael Gambon began their acting careers, and the modern Samuel Beckett Theatre in Trinity College.

A highlight of the festival is Luke Casserly’s Distillation, a multidisciplinary performance lecture featuring original text, perfume, video design and sculpture. This performative journey takes audiences to the Irish bog landscape through sight, sound, scent and touch. With a strong focus on sustainability, Distillation looks at the human relationship to place.
