National Theatre Wales was launched in November 2009 with an online community, and staged its first production in March 2010. Operating from a small base in Cardiff city centre, National Theatre Wales creates theatre across Wales, and each production has a unique relationship to local communities and audiences.
For its launch programme, the Theatre Map of Wales, running from March 2010 to April 2011, the company staged a new show each month: 13 productions in all, each one in a different location, and each using a different approach to theatre-making.
In Autumn 2011, National Theatre Wales began its second season of work, taking shows to village halls, major stages, nightclubs, aircraft hangars and forests. The company also set up WalesLab - an initiative for emerging theatre ideas using the Welsh landscape as an inspiration and laboratory.
The company’s third year of productions in 2013 was based around four in-depth residencies in locations ranging from Anglesey to Tokyo. At the same time, new experiments ranged from the company’s first touring live music gig to the takeover of our local castle!
In its fourth year, 2014, National Theatre Wales took audiences on four extraordinary journeys - on a trail around Laugharne as part of Dylan Thomas’ centenary, through a WWI battlefield recreated in Monmouthshire, along the foothills of Mount Snowdon with a flock of sheep, and by train from Bristol to Newport to explore the plight of migrants.
National Theatre Wales’ fifth year of work, performed from Spring 2015 until Spring 2016, will feature five large-scale productions on big themes – visit our website for more information about these shows soon.
Behind all of this activity lies a digital presence and an online community that has established the company at the forefront of digital thinking in UK theatre.

The nation of Wales is our stage
From forests to beaches, from aircraft hangars to post-industrial towns, village halls to nightclubs.
We bring together storytelling poets, visual visionaries and inventors of ideas.
We collaborate with artists, audiences, communities and companies to create theatre in the English language, rooted in Wales, with an international reach.
You’ll find us around the corner, across the mountain and in your digital backyard.
There are a range of different ways to engage with National Theatre Wales, and we are always interested in hearing new ideas. Opportunities for artists include:
WALESLAB Our artist support initiative helps artists develop early ideas for performance across Wales. This unique initiative for emerging artists and new theatre ideas places writers, directors, actors, choreographers, designers, performance artists, installation-makers and multi-media experimenters across the landscape of Wales to develop new ideas.
TEAM Supports people who want to get involved with NTW, who want to learn more about theatre, or who need some help in setting up their own initiatives. Everywhere we go we collaborate with and support an ever-growing network of TEAM members. These are the people who play a part in everything we do, giving us a truly international reach
THE BIG DEMOCRACY PROJECT As part of our three-year Big Democracy Project, we aim to instigate debate and action through performance, art and creativity in a series of special performance/debate events called Assemblies. Assemblies are proposed and organised by local communities, voted for by the public and at their core is a discussion on how we can create the Wales we want.
