Shock Therapy

After Laylah had spent her whole life defying those who told her her existence was wrong, she was shocked to develop severe depression at age 18. Ending up in a psychiatric hospital 4 times in a short space of time, she had to process the damage that growing up visibly queer had afflicted on her.

Murder: Staged

Serial killer and psychopathy expert Cheish Merryweather introduces MURDER: STAGED – a deep dive into the embedded lies at crime scenes. Featuring forensics, criminology, dark psychology and reconstructed real-life crime scene walk-throughs. An unmissable evening for any true crime fan.

Na Drini Cuprija

On the banks of the timeless Drina River, where cultures meet and histories collide, stands a bridge that has witnessed centuries of love, loss, and survival. Spanning generations, this powerful story follows the lives of those who pass over it—lovers separated by war, families torn between identities, and strangers bound by fate.

Please note, this show will be performed in Serbian.

The Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here))

Following the sold-out, award-winning shows Gwyneth Goes Skiing and Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, Awkward Productions are back with a brand new show, bringing all their Hallmarks together in the signature awkwardprods way – queer, chaotic, comedic and heartfelt.

31 May – 2 Jun
Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story

After a sold-out run in The Boys’ School, Awkward Prods are bringing Diana BACK to Smock Alley Theatre due to exceptional demand.

Do you know the story of Diana? Probably. But do you know this story of Diana? We very much doubt it. Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life.

15 - 20 Jun
Stories From Dubliners

Back by popular demand, Volta’s critically-acclaimed Counterparts & A Little Cloud has been expanded to include adaptations of three stories from Joyce’s debut work: Two Gallants, A Little Cloud, and Counterparts.

At once funny and tragic, Joyce’s tales are populated with an array of colourful characters who remain entirely contemporary, despite the bowler hats and Edwardian collars.

About Us

history

Smock Alley Theatre lies in an unassuming part of Dublin city. Nestled on the banks of the River Liffey, you would be forgiven for thinking it a quiet little building. Originally built in 1662, The Theatre Royal at Smock Alley gave the world the plays of George Farquhar (The Recruiting Officer), Oliver Goldsmith (She Stoops to Conquer) and Richard Brinsley Sheridan (The Rivals). 300 people attended the theatre each night, seven days a week to be enthralled, entertained and enlightened by actors, acrobats, dancers, musicians and trapeze artists. Now, 350 years after it was first built, the theatre has been carefully and lovingly restored to become Dublin’s Oldest Newest Theatre. It is now once again a bustling hub of theatre, song, dance, art and creativity.

Dublin Municipal Theatre at Smock Alley

In 2025, Smock Alley Theatre became Dublin Municipal Theatre (DMT) at Smock Alley.
