Young Critics Panel

The Young Critics Panel has now become a staple of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival. Sixteen young critics will attend three festival productions and discuss what they have seen at a public panel discussion. If previous years are anything to go by, you can expect rigorous and insightful debate.

This year's Panel will take place on Sunday 10, October at 12pm in the Samuel Beckett Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin 2.  Admission is free and all are welcome. Find Out More about the Young Critics Programme.
