Hull Truck Theatre

Hull Truck Theatre is a modern theatre building in Kingston upon Hull with an auditorium seating about 440 people. The venue hosts regular drama productions and touring shows, equipped with contemporary facilities designed for quality theatrical presentations.

The company was founded in 1971 when a performer established a group focused initially on children's plays and late-night cabaret performances. Over the following decades, it developed into a major cultural institution in the city.

The theatre has been rooted in the local community since its founding and presents productions that often tell stories connected to the region. Visitors find a space where contemporary drama and classic works are performed side by side.

The theatre is centrally located and easily accessible, with step-free access and comfortable seating throughout the interior. It is helpful to check ahead for current productions and allow time to arrive before performances start.

A resident artist created a play about rugby league that connected local sports culture with theatrical storytelling. This shows how the theatre weaves the city's particulars into its narratives.
