Josie Rourke, Bush Theatre
Josie Rourke has been named the new artistic director of the Bush theatre in west London.
The Guardian quotes her as saying:
…she was looking forward to a “bold and promising future” and “the Bush inspires, nurtures and champions playwrights and I am thrilled to have been invited to become its artistic director”
Also,
Bush chairman John Shakeshaft said: “I’m delighted to welcome Josie as artistic director. There has been considerable interest in this position and Josie’s vision for the future of The Bush was particularly inspiring and stood out from an incredibly strong field.”

I’ve bumped into Josie off and on over the years, but she was responsible for giving me my first directing job at university, at the ADC (The Crucible) and so trapping me into this whole theatre malarky. I remember arguing that you should not cut Miller’s words unless you spoke to him about it first. Ah, the innocence of youth.
I wish her well.
