Edited by Liz Powell

Irish theatre is renowned the world over for its rich literary tradition and for the quality of its writing, acting and directing. More recently, the work of Irish designers is making its way onto the world stage and the work of many Irish theatre, dance and opera companies is seen internationally to great acclaim.

The Irish Theatre Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the professional theatre, dance and opera industry in Ireland, North and South. This 4th edition contains a wealth of information, listing 122 drama, 26 dance and 7 opera companies, 36 festivals and 102 venues complete with artistic and programming policies, personnel and contact information.

The revamped and greatly expanded Individuals and Services section offers a one-stop-shop to over 500 individuals and companies working in creative, production, technical, management and services sectors. The section provides contact information for a wide range of practitioners, including set, lighting, costume, sound and make-up/hair designers, directors, dramaturgs, producers, prop makers, stage managers and technicians.

The Handbook also includes a directory of funding and training opportunities, youth drama, dance and opera groups, support and resource organisations and a wide selection of international festivals, markets and networks.

In the time since it was first published, the Irish Theatre Handbook has become an indispensable resource and has developed a growing international readership. In conjunction with the online resource www.irishtheatreonline.com it is a 'must-have' publication for anyone with an interest in Irish theatre.
