The Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre is Ireland's National Theatre. The Abbey Theatre was founded in 1898. It is the prime venue for Irish writers & Irish drama  throughout its years.

The present building opened for business in 1966. It replaces the original Abbey Theatre, which was destroyed by fire in 1951. The present Abbey Theatre is rebuilt on the same site as the former Abbey Theatre.

Many Irish classics are staged at The  Abbey  Theatre, on a regular basis.

The Peacock Theatre is co-sited with The Abbey Theatre. It is a smaller venue than The Abbey Theatre. Smaller budget productions by younger less well known local writers stage their drama here.

The Abbey Theatre is a short walk from The Anchor Guesthouse, being about  a 400 metres walk.

The Abbey Theatre has a box office, worth calling, to reserve or to obtain late cancellation seats.
