The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) today announces that Nicholas Hytner will join the Company’s Board, formally taking up the position at the Company’s AGM in Stratford-upon-Avon later today.

Nicholas Hytner said, “I am honoured and delighted to be joining the Board of the RSC as its new Co-Artistic Directors take the helm, and I am looking forward to what I am sure will be an exciting future”.

Chair of the Board Shriti Vadera added, “I am excited to welcome Nick to the Board. His exceptional experience will add huge value to the Board and to the next phase of the Company’s future under new artistic leadership”.

       

Nicholas Hytner is Artistic Director of London Theatre Company. Its first theatre, the Bridge, opened in 2017 where Nick’s productions included Young Marx, Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bach and Sons, John Gabriel Borkman and Guys and Dolls. The Lightroom was the company’s second space which opened in 2023 with David Hockney’s installation Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away). Nicholas was Director of the National Theatre from 2003-2015.

The RSC AGM will celebrate the Company’s achievements from April 2022 – April 2023, a year which saw the opening of the record-breaking and multi-award winning My Neighbour Totoro. The world premiere was presented with Joe Hisaishi in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, and over 130,000 people enjoyed the international collaboration.
