Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Werburgh Street Theatre, also the Saint Werbrugh Street Theatre or the New Theatre, was a seventeenth-century theatre in Dublin, Ireland. Scholars and historians of the subject generally identify it as the first custom-built theatre in the city, the only pre-Restoration playhouse outside London, and the first Irish playhouse.The Werburgh Street Theatre was established by John Ogilby at least by 1637 and perhaps as early as 1634. It was a roofed and enclosed building, or what was then called a private theatre like the contemporaneous Cockpit Theatre or Salisbury Court Theatre in London (as opposed to a large open-air public theatre like the Globe or the Red Bull). According to one report, the theatre had a gallery and pit, but no boxes, except one on the stage for the then Lord Deputy, the Earl of Strafford. John Aubrey termed it a pretty little theatre.
