Gate Theatre

The Gate Theatre stands in the Rotunda area of Dublin City, County Dublin, at the northern end of the city centre near Parnell Square. It is one of Dublin’s best-known producing theatres, presenting a programme that mixes classic drama, modern European work and Irish plays.

The auditorium is intimate by city-theatre standards, which gives performances a close, direct feel. Evening shows are the mainstay, with matinees during longer runs. Booking ahead is sensible, as popular productions can sell out well before the run begins.
