The signatures of the stars

A special programme designed to mark the occasion of the opening of the new Abbey Theatre after 15 years at The Queens features the autographs of Abbey Players down through the years obtained from both the Abbey archives and the Abbey Players of the day.  The President at the time, Éamon de Valera wrote a letter for the programme in which he celebrates the return of the Abbey Theatre to its original site “in a fine modern building”. Éamon de Valera himself had trod the boards of the Abbey Theatre years earlier.
