NTS Autumn Season
Since its launch in February 2006, the National Theatre of Scotland
has been involved in creating more than 48 productions in over 88 different
locations and has attracted an audience of 147,000 people. With no building
of its own, the Company takes theatre all over Scotland and beyond,
working with existing and new venues and companies to create and tour
theatre of the highest quality. It takes place in the great buildings
of Scotland, but also in site-specific locations, airports and tower
blocks, community halls and drill halls, ferries and forests.
This season the National Theatre of Scotland will be visiting Auchtermuchty,
Clashmore, Craignish, Crail, Dervaig, Dundee, Duns, Easterhouse, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, Inverness, Jedburgh, Kilbirnie, Kilmartin Glen, Kilwinning,
Langholm, Liverpool, Lochinver, London, Los Angeles, Mallaig, New York,
Port Ellen, Sanqhuar, Sleat, St Andrews, Strathpeffer, Ullapool and
Wigtown.
In Scotland, the National Theatre of Scotland will be performing at
the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh, the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, the
Traverse, Edinburgh, the Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow; the Byre Theatre,
St Andrews, Dundee Rep Theatre, as well as performing in a forest, a
scout hut, a distillery and village halls and community centres across
the country.
For this season the company will be working in partnership with the
Traverse, the Citizens’, NVA (Glasgow), Dundee Rep Ensemble, Edinburgh
International Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Edinburgh Film Festival,
Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association, Wigtown Book Festival, the Byre
Theatre, Burnt Goods, Homotopia and Glasgay!
