An experienced theatre Director, Gregory Thompson is currently the Artistic Director of A and BC, a position he has held since he founded the company in 1998.

In 2005 he was awarded the Young Vic’s Jerwood Director’s Award.
Speaking of Gregory Thompson’s appointment, Peter Lawson, Chairman, said, “Gregory is a highly experienced director and I am delighted that he has agreed to take up the position. Our 25th anniversary celebrations mark a new chapter in the Tron’s history and I am confident that this appointment will enable us to continue providing our audiences with a high quality diverse programme of work.”
On his appointment Gregory said, “I'm delighted to be coming to the Tron at such an exciting time for Scottish theatre. The Tron is a place for theatre that is arresting, innovative and fun and I hope to continue with the practice of welcoming audiences to the best work whether made in Glasgow, Scotland or elsewhere.”
He will take up his new position in October. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
