Dante 700: A Dead Poet’s Tour of the City

We have teamed up with The Centre for Scottish Culture at the University of Dundee to present this audio-guided walking tour of Dundee for the 2021 Being Human Festival.

Like Dante guided by Virgil, in this spin-off of Canto X, let yourself be guided by Scotland’s most infamous rhymester and meet some of Dundee’s dearest characters and places.

Written by Jen McGregor
Performed by Daniel Hird
Directed by Flavia D’Avila

Co-organised by Daniel Cook
On-site guides: Lewis Brown, Fay Rizo, Zuza Doktor, Pauline Van Beek, and Parker Agnew
