About the Gate Theatre
The archive of the Gate comprises material mainly from the period 1980-present, during which the theatre has been managed by Michael Colgan. Material from prior to that period is currently stored at Northwestern University, Illinois. The archive includes hundreds of videos, scripts, and designs, many of them relating to major Irish writers.
The Gate under Michael Colgan has distinguished itself internationally for its work with two Nobel Prize winners, Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter. There is extensive correspondence with both writers, as well as huge detail about productions of their work. Read more here.
