Silbert Takes over at Paines Plough New writing company Paines Plough, thirty years old this year, has appointed Roxana Silbert to take over as artistic director when Vicky Featherstone leaves in January next year to become the first director of the National Theatre of Scotland. Silbert, a former literary director of the Traverse, Edinburgh, has excellent new writing credentials herself, being a winner of a Fringe First, a Glasgow Herald Award, a Time Out Award and a Critics’ Circle Award for her production of Henry Adamas' The People Next Door, which played at the Traverse during the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe and then transferred to the Theatre Royal Stratford East. More recently she directed Damages at the Bush, At the Table and Almost Nothing at the Royal Court and Alan Plater's Blonde Bombshells at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Her other recent award-winning production was Rona Munro's Iron (Traverse in 2002 and Royal Court in 2003), which won an Evening Stanard award the John Whiting Award for Best Play. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
