...playwright when Gertrude Lawrence starred in a lavish Theatre Guild treatment of Bernard Shaw's Great Catherine.

Founded 20 years ago by Actors Hilton Edwards and Micheal MacLiammóir, who are still its heads and headliners, the Gate has grown more popular in Dublin as the once-great Abbey Theatre has grown less so.
