Abbey and Peacock Theatres
-
The Irish National Theatre was founded at the Abbey Theatre by the Gaelic Revival Movement led by Lady Augusta Gregory and WB Yeats and first opened its doors in 1904. From the outset it had a radical reputation, putting on revolutionary plays such as Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars . The theatre then went into decline, before being gutted by fire in 1951. It reopened in 1966 as the Abbey and Peacock Theatres. The work performed at the Peacock is more experimental, while the Abbey stages conventional productions and new works.
