Northern Stage is the North East’s premier producing theatre and regarded as one of the top ten producing theatres in the country. 

The company has a growing reputation for breathing new life into classic texts and presenting them as fresh and relevant to today’s audiences, including Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Joan Littlewood’s Oh What A Lovely War, a 1950s version of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, and the first ever revival of Peter Flannery’s Our Friends in the North. The company also continue to bring the best in national and international theatre to Newcastle.
