The Abbey Theatre, the National Theatre of Ireland is celebrating their 110th anniversary today, Dec. 27. Below, watch a tribute to The Abbey Theatre with an excerpt from Juno and the Paycock by Sean O'Casey.

The Abbey Theatre was founded as Ireland's national theatre, by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory in 1904 "to bring upon the stage the deeper emotions of Ireland". Although written more than a hundred years ago, this is still the kernel of what constitutes the artistic imperative for the Abbey Theatre today.
