How to Search
We want to make searching the online Archive as easy as possible for you.
Search by Play
To find out if and when the Abbey Theatre has ever staged a particular play, enter the title in the ‘What are you looking for?’ box, select ‘Plays’ from the drop down menu and click ‘Search’.
Search by Person
To find information on a person (e.g. an actor, writer, director or designer) enter their name in whole or in part in the ‘What are you looking for?’ box, select ‘People’ from the drop down menu, and click ‘Search’. If your search doesn’t produce expected results, try shortening the search term e.g. instead of searching for O Casey or O’Casey, try Casey. Individuals who are usually known by the Irish version of their name are generally listed under that name in the database.
Search by Character
To find information on roles or character names, enter their name in whole or in part in the ‘What are you looking for?’ box, select ‘Characters’ from the drop down menu, and click ‘Search’.
Search by Year
To find productions staged in any given year, enter the year in the ‘What are you looking for?’ box, select ‘Year’ from the drop down menu, and click ‘Search’.
NB: there is no need to include fadas e.g. Seán, when searching for Irish names or play titles.
