  • History

    The Focus Theatre was founded in 1963 by the late Deirdre O'Connell. At the centre of the theatre’s work was the Stanislavski Studio; where actors and directors trained in the theatrical theory and techniques of Constantin Stanislavski. Focus Theatre also had a commitment to exploring contemporary international theatre practice.

    The Company's artistic policy was to present the best of contemporary world drama, to develop new plays, to produce world classics and to bring the theatre’s work to as wide an audience as possible. Focus Theatre had a particular emphasis on theatre that explored the human condition through the craft of the actor.
