Romantic Readings

Venue: Tea Lane Graveyard Church, Church Street, Celbridge, Co. Kildare

Date: June 3. Free Entry.

This beautifully choregraph piece gives a great understanding of the nature of the relationship between Swift and Vanessa. The reading of their letters gives an opportunity to connect in a very personal way with both Swift and Vanessa. It also allows the audience to form their own opinion of a love affair that has intrigued so many over centuries. Not to be missed.
