Sheffield Theatres have appointed Elizabeth Newman as artistic director, succeeding Robert Hastie, who leaves the organisation this summer.
Earlier this month, Newman announced that she would be stepping down from leading Pitlochry Festival theatre after six years in the post. In December, she will join chief executive Tom Bird and deputy chief executive Bookey Oshin at the helm of the three Sheffield venues – the Crucible, Playhouse and Lyceum – which form one of England’s major theatrical entities.
