Portrait: Sir Alec Guinness at Eblana Theatre with Phyllis Ryan. 23 June 1962.
The Eblana Theatre was situated in the basement of Busáras, Dublin's central bus station, operated by Bus Éireann. A tiny theatre, famously without wings, it was open from 17 September 1959 until 1995. It was run by Phyllis Ryan and home to her company Gemini Productions. Ryan was in the 1960s and 1970s the major producer of new plays in Ireland outside of the Abbey Theatre. Phyllis Ryan and her Gemini Productions kept independent theatre alive in Dublin and premièred most of the work of playwright John B. Keane.
