What the archives say
Independent reporting and heritage records on this pub, drawn from a curated list of Irish news outlets, Revenue Commissioners, NIAH, and the Dictionary of Irish Architects. Every claim links to its primary source.
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref 1011236 as a Publican's Licence (ordinary) - Theatre for BACKSTAGE THEATRE at THE LONGFORD SLASHERS COMPLEX, FARNEYHOOGAN in CO. LONGFORD with BACKSTAGE THEATRE LIMITED as licensee.[1]
An Irish Times review in 1998 described Longford's Backstage Theatre as a venue with a well-raked auditorium and about 200 seats, where Second Age opened its first national tour of the year with Romeo and Juliet.[2] Irish Times coverage in 1999 reported that Backstage Theatre hosted the 1998 One Act Festival under an ADCI/DLI joint committee, with Estuary Players winning the open section and Carrig Players winning the confined section.[3] A 2005 Irish Times feature traced the venue's origins to Backstage Theatre Group using Longford Slashers' function room from the early 1980s and to Michael Jennings' 1990 idea of extending that function room into a permanent stage area.[4]
