Traverse Theatre

Edinburgh

As Scotland’s new writing theatre, the Traverse Theatre is a dynamic centre for performance, experience and discovery. Their year-round programme bursts with new stories and live performances that challenge, inform and entertain and enabling everyone to access and engage with theatre is their fundamental mission.

The Traverse commission, produce and programme work to offer new and exciting experiences for everyone and are passionate about developing talent and embracing the unexplored. They nurture the newest and rawest talent – with an emphasis on Scottish-based practitioners – to become the art, artists and performances that can be seen on our stages through a variety of creative learning and literary programmes.
