The National Theatre of Scotland is a mid-sized performing arts organization based in Glasgow, serving as Scotland’s national theatre. It operates beyond traditional venues, taking productions to audiences wherever they are and presenting Scottish culture both at home and around the world. Its programming aims to remove barriers to engagement—economic, cultural, and physical—by reaching audiences in diverse settings, from local pubs and community halls to ferries, forests, submarines, and other unconventional spaces. The company positions itself as a creative catalyst for Scotland's theatre sector, coordinating talent development with partners to nurture theatre makers at all career stages and to reflect the diversity of contemporary Scotland. It pursues work across Scotland and beyond, embracing a wide range of venues and contexts. In April 2026, it announced collaborations with the National Library of Scotland and with Who Cares? Scotland to support the Caring Scotland project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
