Irish Thought for June 2..

Irish Culture

The Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre, also known as the National Theatre of Ireland, is a theatre located in Dublin, Ireland.  The theatre first opened its doors to the public on December 27, 1904.  The theatre served as a beginning or growing point for many Irish playwrights including William Butler Yeats, Augusta, Lady Gregory, George Bernard Shaw, and Sean O'Casey.  The theatre is currently closed due to the need to remove some absestos, however, the closure is only temporary and the theatre will continue to house Irish playwrights.
