Abbey Theatre

Overview

The Abbey Theatre, in Dublin City, was established in 1904. Inspired by the revolutionary ideals of its founders and the rich canon of Irish dramatic writing, the Abbey Theatre’s mission is to imaginatively engage with all of Irish society through the production of ambitious, courageous and new theatre in all its forms. The Abbey Theatre is committed to lead in the telling of the whole Irish story, in English and in Irish, and affirms that the Abbey is a theatre for the entire island of Ireland and for all its people. In every endeavour, the Abbey Theatre promotes inclusiveness, diversity and equality. Visit the Abbey Theatre website or phone to reserve tickets for a performance.

Ireland's national theater more than meets expectations for its prestigious reputation.
The Abbey was established by infamous theater fans (W B Yeats, anyone?) and has long been a favorite among a diverse group of Dubliners, some of whom had previously dismissed theater as being pretentious.
The affordable tickets and appropriate emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and ambitious new theater work are helpful.

Legendary is the Abbey Theatre.
It was established in the early 20th century by a group of writers, including the poet W B Yeats, and quickly rose to prominence as Irish theater's cutting edge.
Here, controversial plays by up-and-coming authors like Sean O'Casey and J. M. Synge were produced, each of which ignited riots on opening night.
These plays are now considered classics and serve as the Abbey theater's mainstay, while the Peacock stage showcases experimental work.
