Title
Fishamble Theatre Company, Ireland
Description
Fishamble Theatre Company Ltd. presents new work of the highest standards to audiences in Dublin, nationally and internationally. It is a company dedicated to the discovery, development and production of new plays. Fishamble has received many major awards as well as critical and audience acclaim at home and abroad for its unique artistic identity and dynamic contribution to Irish theatre.
The company was founded in 1988 under the name Pigsback, and has been committed to presenting new work since 1990, changing its name to Fishamble at the start of 1997. The name is inspired by Dublin's Fishamble Street, particularly its playhouse which - in 1784 - became the first Irish theatre to pursue a policy of producing solely new Irish work. Artistic Director, Jim Culleton, is responsible for the company's distinctive and riveting artistic vision. The success of its recent activities has consolidated Fishamble's reputation as a substantial force in new Irish writing and performance, placing it firmly at the heart of top quality Irish independent theatre.
