Words from John Studzinski as Rupert Goold departs from the Almeida Theatre
27 November 2024
After 11 years at the helm of the Genesis Foundation’s partner the Almeida Theatre, Rupert Goold will begin a new venture at the Old Vic Theatre.
The Foundation’s Founder and Chairman John Studzinski said:
“Rupert Goold embodies artistic innovative leadership, and represents everything that is both important and essential to the creative industries in the UK. He has been an outstanding Artistic Director at the Almeida which, thanks to his leadership over the past 11 years, is now at the top of its game. The Genesis Almeida Playwrights programme is Rupert’s brainchild and, thanks to him and his team, many talented playwrights have been mentored and encouraged to write ambitious plays tackling big subjects for the main stage. He’s shown them the drive and skillset behind his own bold, stunning style and we have been honoured to work alongside him on this much-needed programme. We wish Rupert and Rebecca the very best as they face new challenges: the Old Vic will be lucky to have such a team at the helm”.
