The Company
Magnetic North is a theatre company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed in 1999 by theatre and opera director Nicholas Bone to create and develop new work with playwrights and other practitioners.
The company's work has been funded by Scottish Arts Council, Glasgow City Council, Awards for All, the Jerwood Foundation, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Peggy Ramsay Foundation.
We work with actors, playwrights, designers and composers to produce plays that are stylish, articulate and individual.
We place the writer at the centre of the play-making process, whether the play is a new commission or an existing text. We encourage playwrights to experiment with form, structure, content and narrative.
The main focus of the company’s development work is Rough Mix, which is an opportunity for theatre makers to collaborate with other practitioners, try out new ideas and introduce them to an audience.
