The man behind the success of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is moving to the West End to take over the top job at the Donmar Warehouse.
Tim Sheader will become artistic director at the theatre in Covent Garden in March when he takes over from the departing Michael Longhurst, and will also serve as joint chief executive with the theatre’s executive director, Henny Finch. The Donmar lost its NPO status at the end of last year, meaning that it no longer receives funding from Arts Council England.
