Smock Alley Theatre, Historic theatre in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
The Smock Alley Theatre operates with multiple performance spaces, featuring modern facilities while retaining elements of its historical structure within the stone walls.
The original Theatre Royal at Smock Alley, established in 1662, served as one of Dublin's first purpose-built theatres before undergoing restoration and reopening in 2012.
Performers from Oliver Goldsmith to George Farquhar presented their works at Smock Alley Theatre, establishing it as a center for dramatic arts in Dublin.
The theatre provides venue rental services, hosts educational workshops, and maintains a bar and café for visitors attending various performances throughout the year.
The restoration project uncovered original 17th-century walls and artifacts, incorporating these historical elements into the modern theatre design.
