Hawke will join Dublin readings

Actor Ethan Hawke is set to appear on stage in Dublin this month when he takes part in a season of readings of American plays.

Hawke, who starred in “Dead Poets Society” and in recent years has turned his hand to writing novels, will be the main attraction at the “Americana” festival at the Abbey, the National Theater of Ireland.

He will be appearing in a reading of Sam Shepard’s “The Late Henry Moss.” Other works featured during the two-week run that starts today include Charles L. Mee’s “Big Love” and Tony Kushner’s “Homebody.”
