Open Road is a producer and artist lead company with the artistic purpose of creating theatre, film and other creative work inspired by real life stories and histories. We are committed to working across disciplines and sectors and to seeking out stories and histories that are in danger of being, lost, forgotten or mistold. We do so because we believe that understanding history has a positive impact on our lives today and plays an important role in creating a better future. And because truth is stranger and more important than fiction.

Open Road creates and manages projects, productions, events, trips and publications. We’ve created, lead and delivered a wide range of work including cross sector projects between the arts and heritage. Our roots are in Scotland, our work can reach across the world.

We produce our own projects and productions and offer a range of skills, services and support to enable you to produce yours. We have high level experience of company management across both the public and private sectors and we approach all projects with a creative as well as a practical mindset.
