Artistic Director Dominic Hill

Dominic Hill’s programmes of classic texts told for contemporary audiences alongside Glasgow stories, as well as his own distinctive production style, have won praise from public and critics alike and have reaffirmed the Citizens’ role as the leading producer of courageous theatre in Scotland.

In 2013, Dominic became the most recognised Director in the history of Scotland’s leading theatre awards: the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland, holding 14 nominations and six wins since the awards were established in 2004.

Before joining, he was Artistic Director of the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. He previously worked at Dundee Rep where he was first Associate Director and then, from 2003, Joint Artistic Director. Whilst at Dundee Rep Dominic directed Peer Gynt, in co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland, which won four CATS Awards and toured to the Barbican in London.
