The End of the Tivoli Theatre – In this article photographer Stephen Davis chronicles the demolition of one Dublin’s best loved theatres. This time it was a bulldozer behind you.
The Tivoli Theatre is no more, its stage lights never to shine again.
No more the strum of a electric guitar, the dancing teenybopper, the sound of a wrestler hitting the mat or the sound of the child shouting in glee “he’s behind you” during the annual Christmas panto.
Like the carcass of a once majestic animal its bones have been picked clean to feed the cubs of the new Celtic Tiger.
A new flat pack apart hotel where it once stood.
Francis Street and The Liberties has lost a little bit more of its character on it’s journey to towards
becoming Dublin’s latest tourist attraction Liberty Park World, where the whiskeys are older then the
distilleries.
