Like a next level audiobook, sit back and relax as one of Ireland’s finest young actors offers a taste of what might be your next favourite book.
Like a next level audiobook, our lunchtime Pages in Performance series is the perfect way to take a taste of what might be your next favourite book.
On Monday 20 May, actor Aidan Clancy reads from Sarah Perry’s Enlightenment. From the writer of The Essex Serpent, Perry’s latest explores the limitations of faith, the wonders of the universe, and the sheer miracle of being alive in a story of improbable friendship.
If you like what you hear, you can pick up your own copy at the onsite festival bookshop and join us for Age of Enlightenment on Monday 20 May at 20:00 where the author will be in conversation with writer & poet Harry Josephine Giles.
Originally from North Yorkshire, England; Aidan moved to Dublin in 2022 to pursue training at the Gaiety School of Acting. His love of storytelling initially led him to study history at Newcastle University, but in the following years he began to seriously pursue his acting career, leading him across the Irish Sea to his new home. His credits to date have included Richard III, Measure for Measure, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Seagull.
Presented in partnership with the Gaiety School of Acting.
