Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / June 30 2000: Stage set for all-new Ł50m Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre is to be rebuilt at a cost of 50m. Although proposals include moving to a green field site, the favoured option is to pull down the existing building and put up a new one in its place. The radical option preferred by the Abbey's own board is a major construction project on the existing site, probably retaining some outer walls, to create a landmark building.
