Focus Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Focus Theatre in Dublin is a small but respected theatre which offers a variety of plays from new and established writers.

The theatre was founded in September 1967 by the late Deirdre O'Connell, and opened with a production of Doris Lessing's Play With a Tiger.^[1]

The Focus Theatre has been at the forefront of training actors and directors in the Stanislavski System as well as putting on productions of the classics of European and international theatre.

Several notable actors began their careers at the Focus, including Gabriel Byrne and Tom Hickey.
