The Abbey Theatre last night confirmed it has agreed to pay Nigerian playwright Bisi Adigun and his theatre company €200,000 for copyright infringement.

Novelist Roddy Doyle has been ordered by a High Court judge to provide a sworn statement that he only has one version of a play he allegedly co-wrote with a man who is suing him and the Abbey Theatre in a row over alleged copyright infringement.

A mother of six who claims she was illegally evicted from her home in West Dublin has told a hearing she was physically assaulted by her landlord while alone in the house.

A RADICAL new version of a famous play is being staged at the Abbey Theatre — 100 years after it caused street riots.
