History  The Abbey Theatre was founded in 1904 by W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory. Its precursors were the Irish Literary Theatre and Frank and Willie Fay’s National Dramatic Society. With patronage from Miss Annie Horniman, premises were purchased on Old Abbey Street and on December 27th 1904, the Abbey Theatre opened its doors for the first time.   CREDITS – SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER (1773) by OLIVER GOLDSMITH  Gary Crossan Dick Muggins/Thomas Lisa Fox Bet Bouncer/Bridget Manus Halligan Tom Twist/Jeremy Jon Kenny Mr. Hardcastle Mark Lambert Sir Charles Marlow Charlotte McCurry Molly Slang/Pimple the Maid Caroline Morahan Miss Hardcastle Janet Moran Miss Neville Sean Murphy Aminadab/Diggory Rory Nolan Hastings Marion O’Dwyer Mrs. Hardcastle David Pearse Tony Lumpkin Bryan Quinn Jack Slang/Roger Marty Rea Young Marlow Conall Morrison Director Liam Doona Set designer Joan O’Clery Costume designer Conor Linehan Composer and Sound Designer Ben Ormerod
