The Tron Theatre

.. [Return to Glasgow Theatres Index]


The Tron Theatre has been a familiar landmark in Glasgow's Merchant City for centuries and is easily identified by its stunning 16th Century steeple. Situated just yards from Glasgow Cross, this thriving theatre has been a popular cultural venue for the last twenty years.

Following a £5 million extensive refurbishment programme in 1999, The Tron has proudly transformed itself into an extraordinary architectural collection of historical buildings contrasted with contemporary new spaces, designed by cutting edge architects RMJM. The Tron plays host to an enviable array of conference and entertainment facilities tailored for corporate events, conferences and seminars. The Theatre is also a leading venue for Glasgow's festivals including Celtic Connections, Glasgow International Jazz Festival, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, New Territories and Glasgay!

The Tron is an established powerhouse of dynamic productions of classic texts and new material, taking full advantage of existing and emerging Scottish talent. Acclaimed performers to emerge from the Tron include Alan Cumming, Forbes Masson, Peter Mullin, Craig Ferguson and Siobhan Redmond amongst others. Many of these artists continue to maintain close links with the Tron.

The theatre is home to the renowned and highly acclaimed Tron Theatre Company and throughout the last couple of years; the company has been rewarded for their successful productions, including Possible Words by John Mighton, Love Freaks by Iain Heggie and the award winning Shining Souls which won best production in the first Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland in 2003. The Tron has come along way from its humble beginnings in 1979 and is now a leading player in Scottish Theatre.

Current productions at The Tron include David Greig's 'San Diego', co-produced with Edinburgh International Festival and the award winning 'The Wonderful World of Dissocia' by Anthony Neilson which successfully received 5 out of 10 awards in the 2005 Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland.
