Season Launch. Photography by Julie Howden. 5 6 THEATRE WITHOUT WALLS

In 2018, we toured across Scotland at all scales: to 194 unique locations and venues, reaching audiences in 91 percent of local authorities with our broad programme. We challenged audiences with the notion of where and how theatre can be staged. Locations in 2018 included seven stunning Scottish beaches, a botanical garden, a meadow, a giant shoebox, the back of a truck, the Dundee Courts of Justice and a shopping centre as well as the great stages of Scotland.

We showcased Scottish talent to international audiences with performances in Brazil; Dublin and Achill, Ireland; Charleston, South Carolina, USA; Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago.

We worked with the best creatives, artists and theatre technicians to create world-class theatre for Scotland’s stages. This work is rehearsed in our two year-old technical and production facility on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal in North Glasgow. We also opened up our theatre-making resource to 111 community groups, artists and companies to benefit from.

Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour. Photography by Manuel Harlan. 11 12

Our work has been critically applauded throughout the year, with many shows winning five star reviews

CYRANO, THE SCOTSMAN “sings the big song of humanity in an inimitable Scottish voice, and with an ambition and sense of style that not only thrills the eye, but utterly wins the heart”

THE 306: DUSK, THE HERALD “Emanuel and Williams’ trilogy honours the dead who have previously lain nameless in a way that lingers long after the music’s final note has sounded”

MIDSUMMER, THE GUARDIAN “Glorious”

MY LEFT RIGHT FOOT: THE MUSICAL, SUNDAY POST: “eye-wateringly close to the bone genius”

THE REASON I JUMP, THE OBSERVER “a revelatory insight into autism”

Cyrano de Bergerac. Photography by Mihaela Bodlovic. 13 14 THEATRE FOR EVERYONE

In 2018, we made a commitment to disabled, D/deaf and neuro diverse audiences to ensure that our productions and projects explored best practice, were as accessible as possible, and broke new ground. We staged The Reason I Jump in North Kelvin Meadow and The Children’s Wood, adapted from Naoki Higashida’s autobiographical book, performed by a group of artists with autism. We created a new partnership with the National Autistic Society to open up all of our productions as much as possible to neuro diverse audiences. 15

The Reason I Jump. Photography by Pete Dibdin. 16 THEATRE FOR EVERYONE We piloted Limitless, a project with NAS and Royal Conservatoire Scotland that explored good practice in using drama and theatre methodologies with autistic children, teenagers and young adults. We premiered My Left/Right Foot – The Musical, a Birds of Paradise co- production and an outrageous new piece of musical theatre exploring disability and representation on stage which took the Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm.

My Left Right Foot - The Musical. Photography by Tommy Ga-Ken Wan. 17 18 THEATRE FOR EVERYONE

We created Creative Licht, a sign language interpreting initiative and partnership with Sign Arts, Birds of Paradise and Solar Bear to explore how to improve creative sign language interpretation in the performing arts and improve the quality of the theatre experience for Deaf audiences. We pioneered fully integrated BSL in two of our productions. We opened up the full theatre-going experience to new and older generations of debut theatre-goers, reaching 200 people that have not had the opportunity to go to the theatre before for a diverse range of reasons (personal or economical).

We programmed 68 accessible performances including integrated BSL, Audio Described, Captioned and Autism Friendly. We recognized Scotland’s rich diversity of languages by supporting Theatre Gu Leor’s tour of quadriilingual play Scotties; by celebrating gaelic culture and language in Rocket Post and Scots Language in Cyrano De Bergerac and by offering opportunities for Gaelic and BSL Artists as part of our Starter programme for up and coming theatre artists.

Just start Here. Photography by Megan McEachern. 23 THE FUTURE OF THEATRE In 2018 we focused on future generations and future talent with the month- long Futureproof Festival unleashing 10 radical productions co-created with young people across Scotland.

We hosted Exchange, a festival of young theatre-makers at Eden Court, Inverness. The newly formed Youth Project Team took up residency with us for a year, to inform our future direction.

Our Starter programme offered 10 residencies at Rockvilla to diverse artists. Our talent development Engine Room, inspired by the opportunities for artists at Rockvilla, took to the road in 2018, offering up 80 workshops and events in 12 different locations nationwide involving over 500 opportunities for artists. We collaborated with the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation to create a pilot internship scheme for non-artists from black and minority ethnic communities interested in careers in theatre across all departments, with the long term aim of increasing participation from Scots from ethnic minority backgrounds in the theatre industry. 24 THE FUTURE OF THEATRE We grew audiences for the future with Theatre in Schools Scotland (TiSS), in partnership with Imaginate. 18,000 school children watched the best theatre from Scottish children’s theatre companies in their own school halls and nurseries.

NEIL MCINTOSH, HEAD AT STROMNESS PRIMARY, ORKNEY SAID “one of the most atmospheric, poignant pieces of drama for children I have ever seen. A highly topical and emotional piece which affected every person in the room, both pupils and adults. Fantastic!

JULIE WILSON, HEADTEACHER, GIGHA PRIMARY SCHOOL SAID “The impact of the visit has been utterly transformational for us. For most of our children, many of whom experience rural or social/financial deprivation this was their first, and probably only experience of live theatre. Their learning, growth and development have been significantly impacted by the visit in terms of their raised aspirations, interest in the arts and focus on achievement.” 25

TISS. Photography by Eoin Carey. 26 A THEATRE FOR CONTEMPORARY SCOTLAND We want to enrich Scotland’s cultural life and have a meaningful impact on society.

In 2018 we participated in 11 festivals across Scotland, marked Black History Month with two shows, led Pages of the Sea, the Danny Boyle large scale outdoor memorial to mark Armistice Day, co-produced The 306: Dusk with Perth Theatre and 1418 NOW; the final part in our World War One trilogy and took to the streets with women across the country, with the mass participation project, Processions to celebrate one hundred years of votes for women.

We launched National Theatre on Screen with projects created especially for broadcast or personal viewing.

For the first time we toured to cinemas, via the Regional Screen Machine, reaching geographically remote audiences with Rocket Post. We premiered the short artistic film Radial, as part of Futureproof Festival; and the documentary Run Free, about our pioneering parkour for young men project with the British Council and Manifesto Jamaica, premiered at the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival.

We digitally innovated with the creation of The Reason I Jump app and through Citizen of Nowhere, our mini festival and timely exploration of the future of theatre, technology and society.

The Reason I Jump. Photography by Pete Dibdin. 31 32 YOUR NATIONAL THEATRE

We asked our audience what they thought of us. 90% of survey respondents would recommend National Theatre of Scotland to a friend, 78% say our shows are thought-provoking and 86% say our pieces are well produced and presented. We invited our audiences on to Scottish beaches to contemplate, Pages of the Sea; on to the streets of Edinburgh to celebrate, Processions and in Glasgow to play uniquely Glaswegian cameos in Super Night Shot. We asked the community of North Lanarkshire to open up their worlds of work and to join a large scale cast to create Shift at Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life. We built a labyrinth in North Kelvin Meadow for the neighbourhood to enjoy after the Reason I Jump run had ended. Our Learn team enhanced our show programme with special events and workshops, at our HQ Rockvilla in Glasgow and further afield. 416 workshops took place, which engaged 6302 participants and 500 people were engaged as participants in National Theatre of Scotland productions.

‘so profoundly poignant and powerful, it moved me to tears… an outstanding production which honours the memory of the 306 soldiers.’ (AUDIENCE MEMBER, THE 306 DUSK)

‘It was very special – moving – stimulating – a brilliant use of the North Kelvin Meadow’ (AUDIENCE MEMBER, THE REASON I JUMP)

‘It was excellent to see NTS hosting this kind of informal, youthful event with opportunities for such diverse voices to shine. Will look forward to similar in future. (AUDIENCE MEMBER, JUST START HERE 2018)

‘This was a wonderful show. Beautifully performed, amazing costumes, witty dialogue, bold staging, great music and it made me feel so proud of our National Theatre.’ (AUDIENCE MEMBER, CYRANO DE BERGERAC)

‘What a fantastic event Hacks for The Future was. It was the best afternoon for a long time. There was something for everyone to do and you could tell by the faces of those taking part how much fun and enjoyment they got from it. I was moved to see the joy and smiles on everyone’s faces.’ (AUDIENCE MEMBER, HACKS FOR THE FUTURE) 35
