THEATRES

Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre opened its doors to the public on its current site at 26 Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1, on Monday 18 July 1966.

Due to the location of the building next to the Liffey river, the structure 'floats' on a concrete raft. Containing two theatres, the main auditorium of the Abbey Theatre, and the studio space called the Peacock Theatre, the building is four stories high, with the main roof being 47 feet above street level.

Gate Theatre

The Gate Theatre has been, artistically and architecturally, a landmark building for over 250 years. Established as a theatre in 1928, the Gate offered Dublin audiences an introduction to the world of European and American avant-garde theatre as well as well as classics from the modern and Irish repertoire. Today, in its 80th year, the Theatre continues to offer a stimulating and inclusive programme, appealing to audiences of all generations.

Vicar Street

Designed and built to world-best standards, Vicar Street opened in the autumn of 1998 pledging to give Dublin a mid-sized venue that would 'punch above its weight'. The roll-call of performers who've graced the Vicar Street stage in the past year testifies to a promise well kept.
