About the National Theatre of Scotland

Your National Theatre

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. Our ambitions are simple: to create work that excites, entertains and challenges audiences at home and beyond and which makes Scotland proud.

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 celebrated its 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.
