Dogstar is a European touring theatre company based in the Scottish Highlands around Inverness, one of Europe’s fastest growing small cities. We commission, produce and tour new plays by writers from the north of Scotland and elsewhere. We aim to present our varied audiences with engaging and entertaining theatre which combines the new and the traditional, the classical and the experimental, drawing on accumulated experience and contemporary innovation.
From its early Highland tours, the company has extended its reach, now touring across the UK and internationally, with over 170 performances outside Scotland since 2009. These include work presented at Copenhagen Stage Festival Denmark, Umea 2014 European Capital of Culture Sweden, Konfrontacje Teatralne Lublin Poland, Ivan Franko National Theatre Kyiv Ukraine, Les Kurbas Theatre Lviv Ukraine, Malmo Stadsteater Sweden, Brits Off Broadway New York USA, Adelaide Fringe Festival Australia, Societaetstheater Dresden Germany, English Theatre Berlin Germany, Pavilion Theatre Dun Laoighaire Ireland, Clwyd Teatr Cymru Wales, Birmingham Rep England, and Mungo Park AC Denmark. Dogstar continues to tour to village halls in the Scottish Highlands and Islands as well as to city centre theatres.
Much of our work springs directly from the Highlands’ defining characteristics: a stunningly beautiful and harsh natural landscape; a tumultuous and marginalised history; a shifting and changing population; a vibrant oral and musical tradition. Our productions endeavour to speak to our audiences using some of Scotland’s best actors, musicians, writers, directors and designers, collaborating with international artists and partners. For us, theatre is a place for debate and celebration, for ideas and entertainment, for a few laughs, a few tears, a challenge to the mind and a memorable night out. At its heart, its about communication between the actor and the audience. It can’t exist without you.
