Housed in a Grade-B listed building that includes the most complete functioning Victorian theatre machinery, & is the second-oldest operational theatre, in the UK (more info at the Building History link below!), the building itself was opened in 1878.
The Citizens company was founded in 1943 by James Bridie, & the Citizens Theatre was permanently established in 1945, & since it has served as one of Scotland's primary theatres & theatre-companies, offering a range of productions from contemporary versions of classic plays & new Scottish drama.
*Please note - As of June 2018, the building is currently closed for a major redevelopment. During this time the company will be presenting shows at Tramway (a separate listing here on Glasgow Green Map, & a wonderful place worth checking out, link below!) & across Scotland.
