The theme of the play was fascinating. The actors were very professional. The cost to get in was very reasonable. I thought the theater itself was too austere and modern.

There is no substitute for live theatre and nowhere better than the Abbey Theatre. The acting and stage are always excellent, Eventhough I ahve visited it many times, I still go back with enthusiasm. Just be careful walking in the surrounding area after the show is finished.

Visitors to Dublin but have been to this cutting edge theatre before. Saw Drum Belly last week. Daring, enthralling -grabs you and doesn't let go-, thought provoking, superbly acted, not for the weak of stomach. I could go on. It's probably the most unexpected and engrossing piece of theatre I have ever seen. In a party of 4 and all... More

The Abbey only showcases the best in Irish and worldwide talent. Every show I've been to see (most recently Drum Belly) have been absolutely spectacular!

It is very unlike the more traditional plays on the Abbey programme, but I honestly think it was a risk well... More

I haven't been as wowed by a production at The Abbey in years as I was this evening at Richard Dormers' excellent Drum Belly. A real must see if you like your gangsters movies. It deserved a standing ovation and happily got one. For those who don't really head to the theatre that often or anyone thinking or dipping their... More

The theatre was a theatre, very friendly staff, nice bar, all seats have good views. Drum Belly is a funny, rockin' & captivating play. Highly recommended.
