Drama

Theatre in Scotland is created and enjoyed in multiple ways. Through a rich mix of professional, amateur, community and schools drama, theatre reaches every part of Scotland.

Contemporary theatre provides a laboratory of language and ideas, kindles visual and verbal imagination and enables debate and discussion about Scotland ’s cultural and political futures.

Drama is also an educationally holistic medium, exercising design, performance, language and technical skills which increase self-confidence and feed into a range of creative industries.

Theatre is a dynamic channel for communication between the diverse interests of Scottish society – region to region, community to community, generation to generation.
