Scope and content
Five account books showing the income received from the sale of seats at each performance of a named play. Each page gives details of a particular performance including the date, the number of seats sold in the balcony, stalls and standing areas, the price of the seats, the revenue received, and the totals of persons attending and income received. They include records of performances at touring venues, such as Spiddal, Rosmuc, and Tourmakeady. Occasionally the takings from the showing of a production over a number of days are summarised on one page, for example the attendance of 482 persons at "'s Iomaí Oig Fhear D'Imigh" in mid June 1966 provided £43.7.6 income for the Taibhdhearc. Each page is signed and most of the entries are in pencil. The price of tickets ranged from 2/6 to 1/= in the 1950s. Ticket prices rose in the autumn of 1960 and at the beginning of 1968 and 1970. With the changeover to decimalisation in 1971 the price of tickets ranged between 30p and 10p. The format of the details was changed in 1970 and pages have been stuck into the book for 1970-1971. Two books are missing from the sequence. Blue hard board covers at the back, size approx 26x22x2 cms. Each book contains 100 pages with carbon copies and some loose pages.
