An Evening with Richard Dawkins and Friends is coming to the Ulster Hall, Belfast on 14 November 2024!
Richard Dawkins – 'one of the most respected scientists and thinkers of our time' – is to embark on a new tour which includes two Irish shows.
Speaking about the newly added Dublin show Dawkins says "I shall be spending most of October and November, in Europe and UK, speaking in ten different cities from Oxford to Belfast. I am 83 years old, and travel is more irksome than it was. The maxim, “Quit while you’re ahead” has recently received a welcome boost, and I anticipate that this will be my last EU/UK tour. My swansong. My final bow. There’ll be a Q & A at every event. And I’ll be signing any or all of my 19 books, including The Genetic Book of the Dead, which will be just published. This will probably be your last opportunity to tell me how profoundly you disagree with everything I’ve written and said. Or the reverse if that is the case. Either way, I look forward to seeing you."
The world-renowned evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of such landmark books as The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and Unweaving The Rainbow has earned millions of admirers through his passion for the wonders of science and the vital importance of reason.
Renowned for his unapologetic advocacy of science and reason, Dawkins is celebrated for groundbreaking work that captivates millions with his passion for scientific inquiry.
