Inspired by the revolutionary ideals of our founders and our rich canon of Irish dramatic writing, our mission is to imaginatively engage with all of Irish society through the production of ambitious, courageous and new theatre in all its forms. We commit to lead in the telling of the whole Irish story, in English and in Irish, and we affirm that the Abbey is a theatre for the entire island of Ireland and for all its people. In every endeavour, we promote inclusiveness, diversity and equality.

Tartuffe Post Show Talk - Religious Hypocrisy: A Besetting Irish Failing?
As part of the run of our new production of Moliere's Tartuffe, we initiated a series of post-show discussions on themes emerging from the new version of the play by Frank McGuinness. The discussions focussed on the origins of these themes in the play and broadened out to encompass reflections on their relevance for Ireland in the past and the present.
Our second talk covered Me Too: confronting patriarchy and sexual oppression. This conversation was explored by curator Catriona Crowe along with journalist and novelist Gene Kerrigan and journalist and writer Caelainn Hogan. In their talk they examined hypocrisy, trying to answer the question if it’s part of the Irish system of elision of difficult things.
