Buffong to Lead Talawa Michael Buffong is to be the new artistic director of Talawa, Britain’s most prominent Black-led theatre company. He will succeed Patricia Cumper, who is stepping down after five successful years (see our story of 1st July). Talking about his appointment Buffong said, “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to take on this immense and challenging role. As Talawa enters its 25th year, I look forward to leading the company into a new and exciting phase, and engaging our audience with excellent memorable theatre.” Talawa Theatre Company Chairman Benjamin Yeoh comments, “I'm delighted that Michael is coming to Talawa. He has a brilliant track record as a director and his vision for Talawa is passionate, exciting and brimming with ideas. He came through a highly talented list of candidates, which speaks well for the talent of our theatre generation. I would also like to express my thanks and admiration to Pat Cumper for all the great work she has done at Talawa and the fantastic legacy she is passing on.” Buffong will join the company, currently celebrating 25 years, in early 2012.
