Synopsis
Born in a former brothel in 1963, the Traverse Theatre is one of the most exciting venues for new writing in Britain. Now in its 50th year, its full-throttle programme of shows from around the world packs in audiences from morning to night throughout the festival. Sue Perkins goes behind the scenes with artistic director Orla O'Loughlin to see how it all comes together, and celebrates the theatre's fascinating history, from underground notoriety to a leading light in the vibrant Scottish theatre scene.
