Smock Alley Theatre’s lunchtime performances are one of Dublin’s great cultural bargains. For just a few euro, you get a short performance in one of the most beautiful theatre spaces in the city - a restored 17th-century theatre that was Dublin’s first purpose-built playhouse.
What to Expect

The programme varies from week to week and includes new writing, classic monologues, poetry, music, and experimental work.
