It’s succession season at the UK’s National Theatre with Rufus Norris, the institution’s Artistic Director, announcing that he will step down in 2025 after a decade in the post. “It’s good to keep leadership evolving,” Norris noted during a press conference at the National’s base on the south side of the River Thames, in the shadow of Waterloo Bridge.
The National’s board will determine Norris’s successor. They will cast a net far and wide and there’s an eagerness to end the white male hold on the NT’s leadership.
Meanwhile, Norris has been getting on with the business of running the country’s flagship theatre company. Succession star Harriet Walter returns to the NT to lead a new adaptation by Alice Birch of Federico Garcia Lorca’s The House of Bernardo Alba.
It will be directed by Rebecca Frecknall, the director lauded for her acclaimed revival of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire starring Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran.
