Despite our building being closed, we’re working hard to produce a free virtual programme, working with writers, artists, young people and our community.
We hope to welcome all of you at the Traverse again when it is safe for us to do so, but for now, we’re bringing the Traverse to wherever you are, and inviting you to join fellow theatre-lovers for brilliant performances and new learning opportunities.
Please read on for the latest updates regarding our building closure.
