The new Abbey Theatre, 26 Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1, which opened its doors to the public on Monday 18th July 1966 heralded the beginning of a new era for the National Theatre of Ireland.
Containing two theatres, the main auditorium which is the Abbey Theatre, and the studio space called the Peacock Theatre, the building is four stories high, with the main roof being forty-seven feet above street level.
The Peacock Theatre is situated under the Abbey foyer and the entrance is alongside the Abbey building on Lower Abbey Street. Seating capacity is 157 and can be used with a traditional seating arrangement or can be formed into a theatre with a 20 X 20 feet central playing area, surrounded on three sides by seating. The current programming of the Peacock Theatre is dedicated primarily to the presentation of new plays.
