TRON THEATRE SEASON LISTING JAN-AUG 2014
TRON THEATRE SEASON LISTING JAN-AUG 2014 This brochure is sponsored by Belhaven Best. www.tron.co.uk 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 [email protected], 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.
