What's in store for the Peacock at the Abbey this year? Neil Murray explains all, now @AbbeyTheatre

[joe mac carrick @joemaccarrick]

@LiamDoona A worthy cause, but don't blame the amateurs. Groups get no state funding so I don't get her argument.

[joe mac carrick @joemaccarrick]

.@LiamDoona Pity she attacks the non professional theatre. But for amateur drama we would never have had John B Keane. Remember Sive 1959.
