National Theatre of Scotland

Scottish theatre has always been for the people, led by great performances, great stories and great writers. As Scotland’s national theatre, we exist to work collaboratively with the best companies and individuals to produce and tour world class theatre.

We’re a theatre company with an adventurous streak and at our heart is a strong desire not to do things conventionally. Everything we aspire to challenges the notion of what theatre can achieve. With no building of our own we’re free to make theatre wherever we can connect with an audience.

The National Theatre of Scotland takes theatre to places other companies don’t usually reach. This Autumn, Long Gone Lonesome, featuring Duncan McLean and the Lone Star Swing Band on tour across Scotland, tells the story of Shetland fisherman and country blues guitar legend Thomas Fraser. And there is a second chance to see Architecting, our 2008 Edinburgh Fringe co-production with New York’s The TEAM.

We celebrated our third birthday in February 2009 and in three short years we’ve achieved things we could only dream of. In the future we will be doing things we can’t even imagine yet.
