National Theatre of Scotland tours to Europe, USA, Brazil and Australia in 2012 and 2013.
We are delighted to announce a number of dates for the international tour of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, following on from its phenomenal success and critical acclaim, both on tour and at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The production is touring Scotland, England and internationally in 2012 and 2013.
Created by David Greig (Writer) and Wils Wilson (Director) with Designer Georgia McGuinness, and Composer Alasdair Macrae.
From 20 June the production is visiting US festivals and venues in Connecticut, North Carolina, Chicago, Massachusetts, Ohio, Purdue, Washington DC, Michigan, Texas and California. The production will also be visiting Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and for the first time the National Theatre of Scotland will be visiting Brazil. In keeping with the site-specific origins of the show, the production is being staged in a tavern, a brewery, and community spaces and studios with bars built in.
The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is undertaking a likely 18 city worldwide tour. This is the longest international tour for the Company to date, spanning three continents. The tour has been made possible in part by the support of the Scottish Government’s International Touring Fund.
Black Watch returns in Autumn 2012. The production has received acclaim, awards and standing ovations from Glenrothes to New York. The production will play at the Shakespeare Theatre, Washington D.C., the Broadway Armory, Chicago IL, and then continuing its US tour to include Seattle WA and San Francisco CA.
The production has now played to over 200,000 people across three continents and has garnered 22 awards. Most recently the production won four Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Director, Best Theatre Choreography, Best Play and Best Sound Design and the company won its first US award with the New York Drama Circlenaming Black Watch Best Foreign Play.
More details to be announced soon. Please visit our website and join our mailing list to keep up to date on the latest announcements.
