HELLO
We’ve created this listings guide to cover the period
from January to August 2014 while we undertake an
overhaul of our season brochure format and look at
how to improve the way we share information with
you about the programme of events and all the
other work we do here at the Tron.
Full programme information will be available on our
website, where you will also find a downloadable
version of this leaflet. If you have any feedback
you’d like to share with us about our printed
material, please do drop us an email to
feedback@tron.co.uk, we’d love to hear from you.
A WORD OR TWO FROM OUR ARTISTIC
DIRECTOR ANDY ARNOLD:
We’re delighted to present for you an exciting new
season. This coming Spring and Summer the Tron
will focus on staging some brilliant new and classic
plays in our Main Auditorium, while maintaining a
busy programme of experimental and edgy theatre
in the Changing House. We’re also developing
some new initiatives in the Victorian Bar: music
sessions, poetry slams and more and will be
working with Playwrights’ Studio Scotland on a
week of readings and works in progress following
the success of the Reclaim the F Word last season.
Come down and be part of it.
Andy Arnold, Artistic Director
