The Queen’s Theatre
From its earliest days the Queen’s Theatre, Dublin celebrated Ireland’s heroes and her historical characters. People like St Patrick, Wolf Tone, Lord Edward, Robert Emmet and Father Murphy were the subjects of her plays.

Cecil Allen is an award winning writer and the grandson of the famous Queen’s Theatre playwright Ira Allen. Cecil was a lecturer with the Dublin Institute of Technology, he has worked professionally in theatre and was a broadcaster with RTÉ for twenty years.

Long before the Abbey Theatre ever existed the Queen’s Theatre was known as the home of Irish drama. Going to see a play at the Queen’s was a joyous event and this illustrated talk hopes to do the same.
