Byre Theatre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The Byre Theatre is a theatre in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The original Byre Theatre was
founded in 1933 by Alexander B Paterson, a local journalist and playwright, with help from
a theatre group made up from members of Hope Park Church, St Andrews. Its first home was a
disused cow byre which the group cleaned out and ran as the St. Andrews Play Club, giving
performances to audiences who sat on cushions on the floor. Within a couple of years, the
Byre Theatre had established a considerable reputation running a programme of performances
which attracted audiences the theatre was barely able to hold.
