Gate Theatre

Anywhere you sit in this little room, you're near the activity.
You might see the next great thing in a famous play or musical because, despite its diminutive size, it has had a significant impact on the careers of illustrious actors (Orson Welles, for example).
It's a formal event at a venue with chandeliered ceilings, so dress to impress.

One of the most daring theaters in Europe since its founding in 1928, the Gate has introduced Irish audiences to works by Ibsen, Chekhov, and Oscar Wilde's Salome while it was outlawed in England.
Michael Gambon, James Mason, and Orson Welles all started their careers here.
