With the announcement of Indhu Rubasingham as the new Director of the National, this flagship organisation – the most prestigious theatre in the UK and undeniably world-renowned – is making a decisive, well-determined break with its own past, as it marks its 60th anniversary.
The news that Indhu Rubasingham has been appointed as the new artistic director of the National Theatre has been met with a generally positive response, with the consensus being that she is a safe pair of hands with a creative passion.
