Europe Theatre Prize In 2016, the National Theatre of Scotland was awarded the XIII Europe Prize Theatrical Realities, in Craiova, with the following motivation:The National Theatre of Scotland was created to appeal to a very wide audience and exists to work with it, with the particular feature, going beyond any sort of all-embracing populist approach, that it should manage to produce and take on tour first-class theatre. Its ambitions are to create work that arouses a strong response, that entertains and stimulates the audience with the precise cultural and social objective of not acting conventionally and inviting discussion of the central idea of what can be achieved through theatre.
