About Cryptic

"Cathie Boyd, the mercurial directorial genius of Theatre Cryptic" - The Herald

The award-winning Cryptic was founded in Scotland in 1994 by Artistic Director, Cathie Boyd. Since then its innovative staging of music productions has established Cryptic as leaders in creating unique multi-layered sensory experiences, making ‘music to be looked at…not just listened to’.

Cryptic has a track record of commissioning and presenting artists from all over the world, having previously produced a multi art-form international Beckett festival, Beckett Time and A Language of Others . Quality and innovation are, and will continue to be, paramount within all aspects of the 'Cryptic' brand. 2010 sees the arrival of Cryptic’s latest production, Orlando and will feature a specially commissioned soundtrack by composers AGF and Craig Armstrong.
