Went to see the great Mark Thomas in his comedic walk around the #'Peace Wall in Israel/Palestine. This theatre has a varied programme - has a great history in the cutting edge of drama of a Scottish flavour - suffers less from the stuffiness of the West End. Going to see Mark Steel in the Glasgow International Festival this week... More

The Citz has been around for a long time, and has never wavered from its aim of bringing high quality, affordable drama to Glasgow and Scotland. The theatre itself is warm and welcoming and I can honestly say that I have never been disppointed in any play (or panto - they do great pantos) I have seen there. More
