Backstage Tour of the Abbey.
I chose to take a backstage tour of the Abbey when I saw it advertised on its website and considered it as a great opportunity to have a better time travel experience to revisit a curiosity about the venue dormant in me all this time. When I was young, millions of years ago, going to the theatre was for the privileged. For 1970s kids at least. These things are in social cycles over history others would argue. The last time I was at the Abbey was 43 years to the day, so I booked it for the same date as the visit in 1980 when I was brought on a school event to see a play. I wanted to line up the date then and now and explore what I was going to feel on this occasion about the experience to the Abbey. I was right in my silent expectation in that it has something special about it. The tour guide Darragh is a Supreme Master of the ceremony. He greeted everyone arriving for the tour, instantly made us all feel welcome as the group was of mixed nationality. His knowledge and style of talking and taking us through the tour was first class. His patience and courtesy to all was impeccable. There would not be enough time to answer all the questions we had but he had certainly triggered much for us to want us to learn more. He covered history, politics, technical details of stage work, showed us the actual structure back stage , explained the work involved in setting up a stage production, acoustics, props, portraits , play performances, famous people, all telescoped into an excellent tour. He is first class professional tour guide and wish to thank him for making my visit as special as it was on December 2nd 1980, 43 years previously. He is surely an agent and Lord of time travel if he can succeed in doing what I had hoped to experience on my visit which I had specially planned in advance.

My wife and I love theater. During our Ireland tour, we missed out on the opportunity to see a little theater production in Galway. However, when we could spend our last night in Dublin at the Abbey Theater, we jumped at the chance. We had no idea of how good or how strong the cast would be for Girl On An Altar. Suffice it to say, we had an emotional workout in the audience. I do not know how the actors could portray such an intensity of raw emotions day after day. This truly was a Greek tragedy in the truest sense. I do not know how long this play is lasting, but go see it! The theater alone is amazing with such history. Thank you Dublin and thank you Abbey Theater for a perfect last night in Ireland.

A modern theatre. Its exterior has some cool lighting on show nights. Interior is nice and modern too.
However, interior lobbies are small and crowded. Not sure why they hold all patrons till right before the show creating a back-up as tickets are scanned…Take away a star.
Seats are comfortable and not a bad seat in the house. Fantastic performance of Somewhere out there is you.
Yes, I’d so return for shows here.

Hi Summerasalifestyle
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're delighted you enjoyed the show.
We like to keep the auditorium empty as close to the show as possible to give the actors time to warm up but we appreciate the feedback.
Kind Regards
The Abbey Theatre

Attended Shadow of a gunman tonight which proved a most enjoyable experience. Good direction & acting almost flawless. Casting & performance of Minnie Powell bordered on caricture which fid not work. Arrived 15 minutes before curtain & found it almost impossible to purchase a programme. They were on sale at bar and box office but long queues at both. Lady checking tickets told me I could get one on WAY OUT. Take a leaf from Gate & have them on sale-tap only- near entrance doors. A good night nevertheless.

Took the backstage theatre tour with Daragh. He was engaging, knowledgeable and personable. He took the time to show us a little extra here and there. An absolute must see for theatre lovers. Highly recommend.

We went to see Ghosts which didn’t seem to be adapted very well, it was as if they just read and performed the play from the script and it did not really make sense. I think the story is good but the play not at all. The theatre has no ventilation. We were seated behind someone who had very strong perfume or deodorant that even the people beside me were burying their noses in their shirts, which was a good idea. There was no escaping this pungent smell in this airless theatre. Also the toilets were cubicles or stalls for both men and women! It was very strange going in to a large bathroom that looks like “Women’s” but full of men! I did not feel comfortable at all. Why not have unisex bathrooms for one at a time rather than a mixed bathroom where everyone looks a bit awkward.

Saw a terrific production of Ibsen’s The Ghosts. Cast was outstanding and the rather old play felt a contemporary as ever- the topics are still important. Theater staff is so helpful and friendly.

Spent a Saturday morning learning all about the Abbey theatre. Taking in the tour of the theatre which included going back stage to see the set. This was an amazing tour made special with thanks to the great tour guide Daragh McMahon. He shared with us his great knowledge and enthusiasm for all things Abbey theatre. You'll learn of the faces behind the portraits in the foyer, the history of the Abbey & its founding and be led backstage to take a look at the set. Can highly recommend this tour and Daragh as a guide!

I enjoyed the production of Tartuffe very much. The performances were very good across the board, and the show did set up each performer for at least one great scene. The costumes were above and beyond excellent, complementing and elevating the show. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and ticket prices were quite reasonable for such a quality show.

My first visit to the Abbey Theatre did not disappoint ('Tartuffe'). For a National Theatre, it's remarkably intimate but without affecting the performances. The seat prices were really good value for money, and getting a pre and interval drink was no problem. All within a convenient location. I look forward to my next visit!

Is it possible to see the theater while I'm in Dublin? Unfortunately, the back stage tours are sold out during my trip. I wondered if there was an opportunity to see the theater perhaps without a back stage tour? I'm not certain if my group is up for a show, but that is still a possibility.

Hi, I'm pretty sure that you can go into the foyer and bar areas of the theatre but, during performance times, you will probably need a ticket. Perhaps if you called in to the box office during the day (check times), staff may allow you to have a look at the auditorium as well. If you can persuade your group to see a performance, it'll be worth it! Ticket prices are fairly reasonable too - certainly compared to London, where I live.

This question is now mute as it's out of date.
However, This Irish home of Theatre for over 60 years always has something to capture your attention. The cosy welcoming Iconic building, steeped in Irish history is itself worth a visit.
If you have the time take the opportunity to visit the upstairs bar, you won't be disappointed.
Enjoy your evening!

Sorry Julia, I don't know. I'm just a punter who reviewed a play. Perhaps their own website will have the listing. The Theatre Festival is around that time. Paul

Jimmy's Hall is on till 8th September, would highly recommend it. Also Backstage Tours (1st - 30thSept) are really insightful and interesting. Bear in mind plays at the Peacock theatre within the Abbey building are generally more experimental. It is also a much more smaller space but the cafe there is really good for a bite to eat.
The Fringe Festival runs from 8th to 23Sept.

What is playing in December at Abbey Theatre
Hi there, Let the Right One In is playing in December.
It's a supernatural thriller and coming-of-age love story from the makers of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Oskar is a lonely, bullied teenager who lives with his mother on the edge of town. Eli just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and stays indoors all day.
These two young misfits soon forge a deep connection but, when a series of mysterious killings plagues the neighbourhood, their friendship is tested beyond all imaginable limits.
If you have any further queries, please let me know.
All the best,
Elaine

What is the recommended dress for the Abbey for an evening, mid-week performance?
and
I attended a performance of Da about 8.5 years ago and remember the theatre as being relatively small, but don't recall if there are obstructions anywhere. How far back from the stage would you recommend for reasonably good seats?
Thank you.
Hi,
There's no formal dress code at the Abbey Theatre. Generally speaking, there's a great view from all seats as there's no pillars or obstructions. We'd recommend 8-10 rows back from the stage.
Feel free to get in contact if you have any further queries.
All the best,
Elaine

We plan to see a performance at the Abbey in late June 2016. Since we've never been in the theater (or the country!) we'd like advice on where the best seating is in the theater. We don't want to be looking up the actors' noses or needing binoculars to see the stage!

Hi,
The Abbey auditorium has great seats. There are no pillars or obstructions. We'd recommend half way back in the centre.
