Astley's Amphitheatre (Dublin)

Astley's Theatre was a theatre on Peter Street, Dublin, at its peak in the 1790s and 1800s. In the 1790s it was known as Astley's Dublin Amphitheatre, after Astley's Amphitheatre of London, and featured the Jacobin Revolutionary Theatre and the Early Circus. In 1805, Joseph Grimaldi performed here. At the time, the theatre was badly in need of repair. As audiences were small, and the show's box-office takings suffered, Grimaldi donated his salary to help pay for the renovation of the theatre. The Dibdin company, with Grimaldi, transferred to the nearby Crow Street Theatre where they performed a benefit concert in aid of Astley's.
