• The new Abbey Theatre 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.
• The building was designed by Michael Scott and Partners.
• Due to the location of the building next to the Liffey river, the structure ‘floats’ on a concrete raft. 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.
