Bio of John Byrne

John Byrne gave this response when asked about the National Theatre during his keynote speech at the Changing Lives conference in Moray in May. ' The so-called National Theatre in London seems to be the national theatre of American musicals, as far as I can see. I can ' t recall anything Scottish there, ever. I like the idea of not having a building, but of funding projects and touring them. It might allow bigger productions to go out on tour.
