Abbey Theatre Reviews

I've seen a few shows here and never been disappointed. I tend to arrive on the early side to pick up my tickets and relax a bit before the show. There are a few spots to sit downstairs and a larger space upstairs. There are ladies bathrooms on both floors as well. I've generally sat in the front as the tickets in the first few rows tend to be a bit less expensive. I think this may be because they are all on the same level. I haven't had any issue seeing in these seats and I've enjoyed being close. I highly recommend seeing a show here.

Lovely theatre. Well done to all in performing arts everywhere, it's amazing how much work goes into it all, not enough credit given to them, how they adapt to being another person really along with remembering their lines, when to turn, jump, stop or whatever. I saw the Country Girls by Edna O'Brien & it was terrific. Well done to all a fab performance. Well done to the staff all so friendly & efficient. Wishing you all continued success.
