A
Civic Theatre
This purpose-built 350-seat theatre is inconveniently located in the southern suburb of Tallaght, but its state-of-the-art facilities are top-notch and include an art gallery. The plays it puts on, an interesting mix of Irish and European works, are uniformly good. The easiest way to get here is by Luas: the theatre is at the terminus of the red line.

B
Draíocht Theatre
This multipurpose arts centre (named after the Irish word for ‘magic’) is one of the most interesting venues in the city. Two separate theatres feature all kinds of work, from reinterpretations of classic plays to brand-new material by cutting-edge writers and performers.

C
Focus Theatre
The small Focus Theatre is committed to showcasing the work of new Irish playwrights, which is thoroughly laudable even if the quality of the work isn’t always top notch. Still, the company offers challenging work and is well worth checking out.

D
New Theatre
Sitting above the left-wing Connolly Books, this refurbished little theatre puts on a pretty palatable fare of ‘fun’ plays and in-your-face work that might challenge social conventions but will hardly disturb the more serious critics.

Pavilion Theatre
Like the Draíocht Theatre and Civic Theatre, this modern space in the seaside suburb of Dun Laoghaire offers a dynamic programme of theatre and performance art.

Samuel Beckett Theatre
Used mainly by drama students, the theatre also features the occasional show by established troupes. It’s all pretty cerebral stuff.
