Tron Theatre

The Tron theatre in the Merchant City offers a mixed bill of new writing and re-workings of established texts. With its emphasis on Scottish, UK and world premieres, it's pretty much the place to experience new theatre first.

Additionally, it plays host to many of the city's arts festivals such as Glasgay!, Celtic Connections and the Merchant City Festival. Of recent years they have also played host to the Glasgow theatre festival Mayfesto, a collection of performances, talks and workshops that celebrate the spoken word and explore contemporary global issues.

In addition to theatre performances, this 16th century building also hosts exhibitions in The Tron’s Long Gallery. It's also worth keeping an eye out for monthly events like The Progressive Playwright (a monthly opportunity for fresh playwright talent to have parts of their work professionally cast and directed as part of a rehearsed reading) and storytelling night All of Us, hosted in the Tron's Victorian Bar.

Oh, speaking of which... the Tron isn't too distracted by workshopping and theatre-staging to cater to your appetite. Have a nibble on their À la carte menu if you're feeling a bit swanky, or nip in and dine on the pre-theatre menu if you've got a night of cultural indulgence planned.
