City Theatre Dublin is a theatre in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1984. Its productions include Sisters, The Hostage, The Matchmaker, The Vagina Monologues, and The Cuchulain Cycle, as well as highly acclaimed annual Christmas shows for children. In September 2007, CTD opened its new venue, "The Empty Space" in Temple Bar, with a production of Brendan Kennelly's Trojan Women, which also formed part of Dublin's Fringe Festival.
[edit] The Empty Space
The Empty Space in Smock Alley, Temple Bar, is a unique venue in Dublin's Cultural Quarter, both historically and aesthetically. The building itself forms part of the old City Walls, and the interior was designed by Peter Brook's internationally renowned technical director, Jean Guy Lecat. Lecat has been technical director and space designer for Jean-Louis Barrault and Peter Brook for over 35 years, and has transformed more than 200 spaces throughout the world, including such theatres as the Théâtre d’Orsay in Paris.
