The Young Vic, one of London’s foremost theatres, has appointed Nadia Fall as its new artistic director, succeeding Kwame Kwei-Armah. Fall, who currently runs Theatre Royal Stratford East, will join the organisation in January and also become the Young Vic’s joint chief executive alongside Lucy Davies.
Fall said she was thrilled to be returning to the theatre “where I was first taken into the fold as a young student director”. She said the Young Vic was “not afraid to ask the difficult questions, and it’s particularly exciting to me that its audiences have an appetite for that provocation”.
