In its 8-year life, the radical, anarchic and experimental Close Theatre Club, situated in a small studio theatre next to the Citizens Theatre, has informed the whole of the Citizens’ programme over the last five decades.
2015 sees the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Close, and we celebrate this important part of Glasgow’s theatre history with a programme of work in our Circle Studio presented by some of the brightest voices in Scottish theatre.
