Abbey Theatre

Despite losing its original building to a fire in 1951, it has remained active to the present day. The Abbey was the first state-subsidized theatre in the English-speaking world; from 1925 onwards it received an annual subsidy from the Irish Free State.

Nice premises, small theatre with very intimate stages, perfect to feel every line of the play and to see the great acting from IP close!

A great theatre that’s a national treasure. Lots of varied theatre runs here but can be slightly expensive for good seats!

Cosy theatre in the city of Dublin. Many famous Irish actors have started from here.
