Liffey Lane (play)
Liffey Lane is a play by Maura Laverty first produced in 1951. It is a three-act play set in an inner-city Dublin slum, which follows a community of very poor tenement dwellers.

Liffey Lane premiered at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on 12 March 1951. It had a main cast of nine characters, with Micheál Mac Liammóir playing Billy Quinlan, a peddler. The play was directed by Hilton Edwards, who also did the lights; settings were by Tony Inglis and costumes by Paul Smith. The story of the play is enacted in and about Dublin and mostly at No. 18 Liffey Lane. It is comprised of a prologue and three acts — the first act is set in late September 1951, and the two latter are set respectively on the eve and on the day of Hallowe’en.
