Wilson to Leave Salisbury Philip Wilson is to step down as Artistic Director of Salisbury Playhouse at the beginning of July, after four years in the post. "The past four years have been an extraordinarily creative and stimulating time, during which the Playhouse team has been absolutely fantastic," he said. "But there are a number of directing opportunities that I am keen to pursue – and which are not compatible with devoting all my energies to my role at Salisbury. And so, as the Playhouse enters a new and exciting phase of development, with a four-year business plan in place and ongoing funding from Arts Council England secured, now feels like the right moment to hand over to a new Artistic Director who can build on our current successes, look to the future with enthusiasm and optimism, and work with the Executive Director, Board and staff to lead the organisation into a new era." The Chairman of the Salisbury Playhouse Board, Helen Birchenough, commented, "Philip’s indefatigable energy and unfailing commitment to theatre of the very highest quality have ensured that the Playhouse – and its Made in Wiltshire brand of in-house productions – has gone from strength to strength in recent years. He will be much missed, but we look forward to finding someone of a similar calibre artistically to lead the organisation in the years ahead."
This process starts immediately, with plans for the new Artistic Director to be in place by the beginning of the Playhouse’s Autumn season in September. His production of Marivaux’ The Game of Love and Chance is currently playing to packed houses.
