The Citizens Theatre on Glasgow Moved From Its Original Location in Buchanan Street to the Heart of the Gorbals.

September 11, 1945

The Citizens Theatre in Glasgow relocated from its original venue on Buchanan Street to the Gorbals, one of the city’s most deprived areas at the time. This bold move aimed to bring accessible, high-quality theatre to working-class communities, establishing the theatre as a cornerstone of cultural life in Glasgow’s south side.
