Smock Alley Theatre

Smock Alley Theatre

Smock Alley was the first Theatre Royal established in Dublin and was opened in 1662 to coincide with the Restoration of the British Monarchy. It was the first of its kind built specifically for theatrical performances and has been preserved more or less unchanged. It is therefore one of the most significant theatrical sites in Europe.
