July 2004 Feature: National Theatre of Scotland
A National Theatre for Scotland? |
|
THE ARTS JOURNAL canvassed reactions on the new National Theatre of Scotland from some of the movers and shakers in Highland theatre. |
|
| IN THE WAKE of Richard Findlay’s open
consultation sessions in the Highlands on the National Theatre of Scotland, I
decided it would be a propitious moment to invite some of the best known names
in Highland theatre to give their views on what will – for better or worse – be
a major development for Scottish theatre. |
|
I asked two questions, and added an invitation: Do we need a National Theatre of Scotland as currently constituted? What benefits might it bring to theatre in the Highlands? If you have anything to add not covered by these questions, please feel
free to do so. |
|
| Most of the people I approached have responded (one or
two have sent their apologies, one or two haven’t replied, and one or two still
intend to do so). Click on the names below to find out how they view the
prospect of the National Theatre of Scotland. All views expressed are those of
the contributors. |
|
(Note: my careless use of the word ‘constituted’ in framing the original questions caused slight confusion – some respondents took it to refer to a formal constitution rather than just the broader sense of ‘set up in this way’. My apologies.) Kenny Mathieson
