Northern Stage is a theatre and producing theatre company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is adjacent to Newcastle University's city centre campus on King's Walk, opposite the student's union building. It hosts various local, national and international productions in addition to those produced by the Northern Stage company.
The complex hosts three stages. The capacity decreases, with stage one being the largest.
The theatre was formally known as the Newcastle Playhouse and Gulbenkian Studio. It re-opened in August 2006 as Northern Stage after a £9 million refurbishment.[1][2] The first performance at the refurbished theatre was a production of the Dennis Potter's Son of Man.[3]
