Janice Forsyth looks at Glasgow's vibrant theatre scene, with new work on show across the city. She talks to the artistic director of the Citizens Theatre about the forthcoming production of 'Bold Girls' by Rona Munro, and about their plans for a major refurbishment of the building.

Glasgow is also home to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, offering a course on Contemporary Performance Practice. Janice joins students as they prepare for a show in The Pearce Institute, Govan. 'Into the New' promises to be thought-provoking and dynamic, but will it appeal to the local audience?

Theatre in Glasgow aims to be all inclusive, and Janice asks whether this is really being achieved in a city which is now home to many different communities and cultures.
