Living History

The Living History tour takes the form of a Live Performance/show every half hour. Deilg Inis Living History Theatre Company is a professional Theatre Company based in Dalkey. They have been engaged at Dalkey Castle for six years now. The actors play their parts and stay in character through thick and thin. The conceit is that the characters all work in Goat Castle (as Dalkey Castle was called then) in the 1500s and 1600s. They vividly describe their chores and their daily lives. Their stories will enlighten and entertain you. This is a premier and unique tourist attraction. Great family fun day out!
