Suspect Culture is one of Scotland’s leading theatre companies, working collaboratively to bring a fresh and distinctive approach to new work.

It was founded at Bristol University in the early 1990s by Graham Eatough, David Greig and Nick Powell. Their idea was to develop a style that would combine the best traditions of British and European theatre, working with text but giving equal weight to visual and musical elements. This has remained a core approach within the company ever since.

In the early 1990s the company moved to Scotland, where it quickly became established as a significant new company on the Scottish scene, with productions of One Way Street (1995), and Airport (1996), Timeless (1997/8) and Mainstream (1999/2000).

Today the company is based at Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow, with a core team of Graham Eatough (Artistic Director), David Morgan (General Manager) and Brian Daly (Finance Officer). Its most recent productions include One Two (2003), 8000m (Tramway 2004) and currently A Different Language (2005) and Killing Time (2006).

Suspect Culture normally produces one major new show each year, which opens in Scotland before touring abroad.

Whilst working primarily in theatre, Suspect Culture also develops work in other media and curates an annual symposium called Strange Behaviour, which seeks to explore relationships between theatre and other apparently unrelated disciplines. Subjects for Strange Behaviour have included Sciences of the Mind, Mathematics, Divinity and Economics.
