Govanhill Theatre

In 2012, National Theatre of Scotland brought their acclaimed production of ‘Lifeguard’ to the Baths. Govanhill Theatre Company, now the company in residence have presented several successful plays which have entertained audiences from Govanhill and beyond and helped to keep the campaign to restore The Baths in the public eye. Our production of Tony Roper’s popular play The Steamie was an unforgettable experience, and a chance to present and see that play in the only remaining steamie in Glasgow. ‘The Battle of Calder Street’ brought to the stage the dramatic moments in 2001 when the baths were threatened with closure and local people stood up to Glasgow City Council and the police and occupied their beloved baths for 6 months.
