Admission: Free

Leonard And Hungry Paul is Rónán Hession’s hilarious and moving story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated.

Leonard and Hungry Paul change the world differently to the rest of us: we try and change it by effort and force; they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.
