Inspired by Japanese culture, Dolls draws upon stories old and new, to create a disquieting odyssey that weaves together three tales of undying love.
Featuring stunning artistry and music composed and performed by David Paul Jones with pop sweethearts Zoey van Goey


Takeshi Kitano's haunting film reimagined as a tender and fragile tale of love in all its forms. A visual feast.
A rip-roaring five star rollercoaster ride through one of the greatest works of world literature. A wild theatrical trip full of trolls, madmen, dancing girls and barnstorming live music.
Welcome to National Theatre of Scotland
Introduction from Vicky Featherstone,
Artistic Director and Chief Executive
Since our launch in February 2006, over 230,000 people have sat in theatres, stood in woods or on ferries to see our work.
We think long into the night as to what might thrill, entertain, move and excite our audiences. What can we do that will coax you from your homes and encourage you to tell your friends and family to come with you?
This philosophy is made possible by our innovative building-free model, which means we can put on a great variety of work all over Scotland which we hope appeals to the hugely diverse individuals who make up our audience.
