Ian Rickson leaving Royal Court
Ian Rickson is to leave his post as Artistic Director of the Royal Court in December next year, supposedly his contract was due to expire in April of this year, with an optional twelve month extension. However the theatre’s board asked him to stay until the end of the fiftieth season and he agreed.
Advertising for his successor begins next week. I wonder who will be up for the job? Current associates will be favourites but maybe someone from outside the Court?
