The Board of the RSC have announced the appointment of ANDREW LEVESON as Executive Director, to work alongside Co-Artistic Directors TAMARA HARVEY and DANIEL EVANS.
Leveson joins the company from the Bridge Theatre in London, where he has worked since its foundation in 2015 and where he is now Director of Finance and Administration. He will take up his role at the RSC at the end of April.
Prior to this, he worked as a corporate lawyer at leading international law firms and as a freelance theatre director and producer.
Leveson said: “It is such an honour to be appointed as Executive Director of the RSC. I have been enthralled by RSC productions since my teens and to have the opportunity now to play a key part in leading the next stage of the company’s history with Daniel and Tamara is an incredible privilege and responsibility - humbling and immensely exciting."
Co-Artistic Directors Harvey and Evans commented: “We're truly delighted that Andrew will join us as the new Executive Director at the RSC. The vast experience and knowledge he has gained as an integral part of the team at the Bridge Theatre will be vital as we begin this new chapter at the RSC.”
Chair of the Board, SHIRITI VADERA, added: “In Andrew, we have found an Executive Director not only with an understanding of the theatre world, but also a flair for innovation. His experience in the commercial and legal sector will prove invaluable in realising the artistic vision of Daniel and Tamara as they embark on their first season."
