It looks beyond the political to examine the effect of war on those who cannot leave the battleground. It’s a gripping piece of theatre that begs to be seen and heard.”Adelaide Theatre GuideAll proceeds from this event will go to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) - a nonprofit that provides free medical care and humanitarian aid to children in the Middle East. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dublin-3/tales-of-a-city-by-the-sea/100001983856537307 - **Event Categories**: Art, Entertainment, Theatre, literary-art, performances, Music, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22.42, max: 22.42, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Dublin 3 - **state**: DN - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Sean O'Casey Theatre - **lat**: 53.35236889999999 - **long**: -6.2333825000000616 - **full address**: Sean O'Casey Theatre, St. Mary's Rd,, Dublin 3, Ireland ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tales of a City by the Sea - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0beec261266bfd2f89692c31ca15855fbd671d0b33963acec3dd33584a078fd9-rimg-w1200-h600-dc5c5c64-gmir.jpg?v=1774245033 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tales of a City by the Sea being held? - **A:** Tales of a City by the Sea takes place on Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Sean O'Casey Theatre, St. Mary's Rd,, Dublin 3, Ireland. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Tales of a City by the Sea? - **A:** Tickets for Tales of a City by the Sea are priced at EUR 22 per person.
