About this listen

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Walking with Ghosts is a delightful portrait of the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies. A Landmark production, it came to Broadway direct from highly acclaimed runs in London’s West End; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Dublin, Ireland.

As a young boy growing up on the outskirts of Dublin, the stage and screen legend sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and commentary on stardom, the actor-writer returned to Broadway and Audible to reflect on a life’s journey.

Adapted from his best-selling memoir of the same name and directed by Emmy Award® winner Lonny Price (Sunset Boulevard, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill), Walking with Ghosts is written and performed by the “spellbinding” (The Times) Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary, HBO’s In Treatment).

In all honesty I didn't know this was in my library until Alexa played it on a whim - she sometimes selects titles of her own accord rather than continuing the book I was half way through as instructed
Wow. This is the most breathtakingly beautiful piece of writing and performance I have ever listened to. Delicately drawn yet razor sharp, poignant yet not sentimental. Gabriel, conjured up a world in my tired suburban kitchen. I sat at the table in his house, I held my breath, helpless as horror unfolded at school, I rejoiced in his success, I wept at his loss and felt the loving tenderness for his family , mirroring my own.
Everything so vivid, so real, so much! I feel peeled, skinless. Burnt.
Listen to it. You have to.
To my knowledge I have not seen seen Gabriel act, that will now change.

I didn't know of him, I do now..
