New CEO at Shakespeare's Globe After an extensive search and appointment process Shakespeare's Globe has announced that Neil Constable is to be its new Chief Executive. His appointment is effective from 11th October. 2010, and there will be a brief hand-over period with the current Chief Executive, Peter Kyle.
Neil Constable has been Executive Director of the Almeida Theatre since March 2003, joining just before the successful re-opening after a major £5.5million capital redevelopment. Before joining the Almeida, he worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company for 16 years, including holding the senior management positions of London Manager at the Barbican Centre and General Administrator. He is also a Governor of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Member of the Society of London Theatre, a Director of Propeller Theatre Company and Honorary Advisor to the Yorke Trust. Peter Kyle, the current Chief Executive, said today, “I am delighted that Neil has accepted this post and I wish him every success in leading this remarkable enterprise into the next phase of its development. He inherits an organisation in great form with a wonderfully committed and passionate staff, a strong Board of Trustees and a highly dedicated small army of volunteers who, together, have made the Globe one of the UK’s great cultural success stories.”
Neil Constable commented, “I am thrilled to be joining Shakespeare’s Globe, to be continuing Peter’s Kyle’s legacy and to have the opportunity of working with the Globe’s enormously talented and experienced team. The Globe is a remarkable theatre and a cultural icon with broad, appealing and quality-driven artistic and education programmes. It embodies a fully collaborative and imaginative approach and speaks to a wide-ranging audience without a single penny of subsidy. I look forward to working with the Board in supporting the Globe’s continuing success and their exciting vision for the future"
Michael Attenborough, Artistic Director of the Almeida Theatre, said, “Neil and I have worked together for 19 years now – twelve at the RSC, seven at the Almeida – so to say that I shall miss him is something of an understatement! But it is only right and proper that he will now occupy the number one post at the Globe. It is truly deserved and they are very lucky”.
