Created for the Dublin Literary Award. In each video, talented actors bring the shortlisted books to life, offering a powerful glimpse into the rich narratives, intricate characters, and thought-provoking themes of these exceptional works.
Designed to showcase the literary excellence and diverse voices of the award nominees, this series invites audiences to experience the heart of each book through evocative, intimate monologues. From poignant reflections to gripping moments of insight, each performance is a celebration of the written word, capturing the essence of the shortlisted novels with passion and precision.
Set against beautifully crafted backdrops, the videos not only honor the literary works but also highlight the incredible artistry of the actors, whose performances transform the stories into a vivid, visual experience.
The Dublin Literary Award is one of the biggest cash prize awards in the world, with past winners including Valeria Luiselli, Anna Burns, Kevin Barry and Colm Tóibín.
