The job description demanded “visionary and charismatic leadership”, the ability to “command respect and loyalty”, the confidence to take risks and – oh yes – “a knowledge and love of the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries”.
Four months after the role was advertised, Emma Rice has been named as the next artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe in London.
Rice, who is currently the joint artistic director of the Cornwall-based theatre company Kneehigh, will succeed Dominic Dromgoole at the Globe in April 2016 when the theatre’s two-year Globe to Globe Hamlet tour is completed.
