Archaeologists unearth remains of Dublin’s Smock Alley Theatre
Part of Dublin’s Smock Alley Theatre, dating back to 1662, together with related artefacts, have been uncovered by archaeologists in the Irish city’s Temple Bar area.
The excavations are part of an €8m project to reinstate the theatre on its original site, which has been occupied over the years by a church and, most recently, by a Viking adventure centre. The Department of Arts has provided almost €4m for the restoration and the Gaiety School of Acting, which is promoting the project, hopes to raise the rest through private donations.
