The Lir

The hip students at Ireland's National Academy of Dramatic Art provide a contrast to the crowds of suits in the Docklands.
However, when the Lir's lessons are complete, the institution makes its studio spaces accessible to the general public, who trickles in for student performances, lectures, and workshops.

Don't leave without stopping by the campus wine bar, which is a terrific place to meet up-and-coming Irish artists.
