Fodor's Review:
The show begins here as soon as you walk into the auditorium, a gorgeously Georgian masterwork designed by Richard Johnston in 1784 as an assembly room for the Rotunda Hospital complex. The Gate has been one of Dublin's most important theaters since its founding in 1929 by Micháel MacLiammóir and Hilton Edwards, who also founded Galway City's An Taibhdhearc as the national Irish-language theater. The Gate stages many innovative productions by Irish as well as foreign playwrights -- and plenty of foreign actors have performed here, including Orson Welles (his first paid performance) and James Mason (early in his career).
