TNT is the only English Language theatre to perform regularly in major theatres nationwide in France.

TNT has toured Scandinavia since 1986. The summer castle tour is particularly successful and extends up to northern Norway. While Norway and Sweden are the heart of the company's work in the region, there have also been regular and comprehensive tours of Finland, while Rosenberg Castle in Copenhagen is a centerpiece of the annual Castle Tour.

TNT's first foreign performance was in Amsterdam, Holland at the Melkweg theatre and Club in 1981, and has developed a regular circuit in Belgium and Luxembourg, where they are the leading foreign theater ensemble.

TNT works in high profile venues and festivals with the cooperation of the Athens Concert Hall, and the Volos Centre for Music Theatre of Greece.

TNT began collaboration with the National theatre of Malta in 2003. TNT has toured Spain for fifteen years, concentrating on Madrid and Barcelona, and began to tour Italy in 2004.

TNT toured Russia from 1990 to 1997, and toured the Ukraine twice, being the first foreign theatre company to perform in several Ukrainian theatres since the Revolution.

TNT performs once a year in most of the Gulf states – Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Dubai, and at the Fajr Festival in Tehran (the Moslem World's largest Arts Festival) won first prize for HAMLET in 2004. 3000 people saw HAMLET in Iran and 2000 visited MACBETH in Kuwait.
