Landscape to be used in theatre

-

SCOTLAND’S stunning landscape is set to form the backdrop to open-air production­s by the national theatre.

Jackie Wylie, the new artistic director of the National Theatre of Scotland, said she had an “inherent soulful love of landscape” and wanted to find a way to use it in production­s.

She said: “We have an inspiratio­nal landscape within Scotland, it’s one of our defining features.

“You can go to places in Scotland, for example, and you can feel as if you are in a lunar landscape, and that is an exciting possibilit­y.”

Ms Wylie also said she was “personally passionate” about attracting young people to the theatre by embracing the digital age.
