Dateline: 1st October, 2010
Grandage to Leave Donmar Michael Grandage has announced that he will leave his post as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse in late 2011. "With the Donmar’s reputation in a particularly exciting place both at home and abroad," he said today, "I feel now is the right moment to start a hand-over period to a new Artistic Director. It will enable someone to build on the success we have achieved over the last nine years and to look to the future with real confidence. I have spent nearly fifteen years running organisations in the subsidised sector in Sheffield and London and the experience has been completely thrilling from start to finish. I am now keen to have a career that moves away from being in charge of a building in order to develop my work as a director in other ways." His first production for the theatre was The Vortex in 2002 and since then the company has won a total of eighty awards. In 2008 he began the Donmar West End seasons at Wyndham's and this month the Donmar Trafalgar season will showcase the directorial talents of graduates of the Donmar’s Resident Assistant Director scheme. The former Culture Secretary, Lord Smith of Finsbury, the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Donmar, commented, "Under Michael’s leadership during the past decade, the Donmar has gone from strength to strength – superb artistic excellence, exciting programming, triumphs on Broadway, global reach, the Wyndham’s and Trafalgar Studios seasons, and a transformed educational offering. For all of us, it has been a privilege to work with Michael through such a momentous period. These are big shoes to fill, but we’re excited by the challenge of finding the right person to take us forward to further success."
