The National Theatre of Scotland is a theatre company established in February 2006. The company performs in a wide range of venues including theatres, halls and found spaces across Scotland.
The creation of a national theatre was one of the commitments of the Scottish Executive's National Cultural Strategy.
Since its launch in February 2006, the National Theatre of Scotland has been involved in creating more than 130 productions in over 120 different locations.
The National Theatre of Scotland has no theatre building of its own. Instead it tours work to venues all around Scotland, from Shetland in the north to Dumfries and Galloway in the south.
The Company produces its own work and collaborates with other theatre companies, local authorities, and individual artists to create a variety of performances, from large-scale productions through to theatre specifically made for the smallest venues.
Many different spaces have been used for productions, as well as conventional theatres: airports and tower blocks, community halls and drill halls, ferries and forests. The National Theatre of Scotland also tours some of its work internationally (for example, Black Watch has toured to the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland).
