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).

Amazing

Very moving and beautifully narrated. It makes you feel like you are actually there. A story that makes you travel in Ireland but also back in time as it reminds you what its like to be a child, then a young adult, trying to make your own way in life. I really enjoyed it!
