One Giant Leap

Touring throughout Scotland

From the creators of the award-winning 'The Emperor's New Kilt', One Giant Leap tells the epic tale of humankind’s struggle to get its head round the Universe and the conflict between science and superstition.

Wee Stories blast into space with their unique, inventive story-telling style on an illuminating, funny and rewarding theatrical trip for everyone from ages 10 to adult.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Coming this autumn. . .

The lure of the funfair is irresistible, but Jim and Will soon discover that a sinister secret lies behind the smoke and mirrors. And the carnival holds a dark desire to destroy their whole town.

Ray Bradbury's terrifying novel is now a deliciously scary adventure created by the magical Catherine Wheels Theatre Company.

Welcome to National Theatre of Scotland

Vicky Featherstone - Chief Executive and Artistic Director

Introduction from Vicky Featherstone,
Artistic Director and Chief Executive

Since our launch in February 2006, over 230,000 people have sat in theatres, stood in woods or on ferries to see our work. 

We think long into the night as to what might thrill, entertain, move and excite our audiences. What can we do that will coax you from your homes and encourage you to tell your friends and family to come with you?

This philosophy is made possible by our innovative building-free model, which means we can put on a great variety of work all over Scotland which we hope appeals to the hugely diverse individuals who make up our audience.
