Focus Theatre, Theatre venue in Dublin, Ireland
Focus Theatre was a performance space in Dublin located in a converted factory building on Pembroke Place, featuring a small stage and closely arranged seating for dramatic works. The venue held around 39 spectators and created an intimate connection between performers and audience members.
The theatre was founded in 1967 and grew from an acting school that began in 1963 with a focus on Stanislavski techniques. It became an important venue for Irish and international theatrical productions spanning multiple decades.
During its 45-year run, Focus Theatre presented over 250 productions, combining international dramas with new works by Irish playwrights.
The location sits in a central area of Dublin where you can reach it easily on foot or by public transportation. Since the space is small, arriving early helps secure better views if you prefer to sit closer to the stage.
The building today hosts Mutiny Theatre and continues its role as an active performance venue. Several actors who later became well known in film and television first developed their skills within these walls.
