Curated by the Makar, the National Poet for Scotland, Jackie Kay, Makar To Makar will showcase a dazzling line-up of established talent and emerging voices.

The main run of Makar To Makar is over, but we are returning for two final seasonal shows, Christmas and Burns Night specials. Our Burns Night special will stream on Thursday 28 January. The line-up is yet to be announced.

Makar to Makar returned for a Christmas special on Thursday 17 December. Re-named Makar to Cracker, the line-up included Annie Lennox, the former Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Jen Hadfield (the youngest poet to win the T.S. Eliot Prize) and Imtiaz Dharker, with music provided by Mercury Music Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams. 

​​Makar to Makar is produced by National Theatre of Scotland in association with HOME Manchester, Edinburgh International Book Festival, The School of Arts and Media University of Salford and Glasgow Caledonian University.
