Dublin entrepreneur Harry Crosbie's Point Village Company has bought the 2,200-seat theatre currently under construction at Grand Canal Square in Dublin's docklands. The €100 million theatre is the third major performance venue planned for the docklands, following the redevelopment of the Point - also owned by Mr Crosbie - and the planned move of the Abbey Theatre to the area. The new building was originally promoted by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority. It was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, who designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Libeskind was also involved in designs for Ground Zero in New York. The proposed name for the venue is the Canal St Theatre, and it will host major international shows including ballet, opera and drama.
