Bank of Scotland Launches Pioneering Partnership With National Theatre

The National Theatre of Scotland and the Bank of Scotland have linked together for the first time to launch The Bank of Scotland Pioneering Partnership. The Bank of Scotland will be supporting a large part of the National Theatre of Scotland’s wide reaching programme over the next two years.
The partnership will offer geographic spread and reach across productions, initiatives,
workshops and events particularly in the area of supporting creativity and emerging
talent.
Vicky Featherstone, Artistic Director, National Theatre of Scotland said:
‘National Theatre of Scotland’s success over the last five years has been built on the
talent of Scottish artists. This extraordinary Pioneering Partnership between the
National Theatre of Scotland and Bank of Scotland assures we can continue to
develop the unrivalled talent we discover as we travel throughout the country. It
enables Scotland to retain and build on its growing national and international
reputation for being cultural leaders and to give audiences the length and breadth of
the land exceptional and life-changing experiences in the theatre.’
Susan Rice, Managing Director, Lloyds Banking Group Scotland commented:
“Our investment will enable National Theatre of Scotland to further develop their
core programme and to take it to audiences across Scotland. It is estimated that in
the first year alone nearly 100,000 people will come into contact with a production or
initiative under the Bank of Scotland Pioneering Partnership banner. Our joint aim
is to encourage and support the next generation of theatrical talent, from actors to set
designers, directors to writers, reinforcing Bank of Scotland’s wider sponsorship
strategy of supporting emerging talent in Scotland and providing opportunities for our
customers and colleagues.”
