About the Show

A virtual tour of the National Gallery of London by two actors performing poetry.

Two of Ireland’s finest actors, Dearbhla Molloy and Dermot Crowley, take audiences on a virtual stroll through London’s National Gallery, bringing attention to the Museum’s masterpieces from Van Gogh and Van Eyck, to Rubens and Gainsborough. With humor and grace, Crowley and Molloy take a fresh look into each painting’s subjects with poetic stories from renowned Irish poet Paul Durcan.
