Queen's Theatre, Historical theatre in Pearse Street, Dublin, Ireland
The Queen's Theatre featured an auditorium with orchestra stalls, a dress circle, a balcony, and boxes accommodating 904 spectators across four levels.
Built in 1829 as the Adelphi Theatre, the structure was demolished in 1844 and rebuilt as the Queen's Royal Theatre under a Royal Patent.
The theatre became the center of Irish melodrama, featuring performances about national figures like St Patrick, Wolfe Tone, and Robert Emmet.
The building served as a temporary location for the Abbey Theatre Company from 1951 until 1966, when operations ceased permanently.
During the War of Independence, the theatre manager Jack Sullivan was arrested at his home by British military forces on suspicion of Sinn Fein membership.
