Katie Roche is a 1936 expressionist play by Irish playwright Teresa Deevy.[1][2] It has been staged by the Abbey Theatre eleven times with the most recent revival being in 2017.[3][4][5][6]

Described as a "reputed favourite with amateur dramatic societies and theatre groups" the play has been staged by a broad range of companies, notable amongst these are productions by Radio Éireann,[7] Lennox Robinson in the Torch Theatre[8] and New York's Mint Theater Company.[9][10]
