Jackie Wylie has been announced as the new Artistic Director of The National Theatre of Scotland, The Guardian reports. Former Artistic Director Laurie Sansom departed unexpectedly earlier this year just as the NTS headed into its 10th anniversary year.

Wylie is the former Artistic Director of Glasgow’s arts venue The Arches and co-director of Glasgow’s Take Me Somewhere festival. She’s the third person to take on the role at NTS.

“Ten years ago [NTS] pioneered the ground-breaking model of a theatre without walls and since then it has combined world-class artistic distinction with a particular commitment to involving the entire population of Scotland,” she said. “I look forward to continuing that spirit of innovation, building on the organisation’s many existing successes and relationships whilst also bringing in new voices, seeking out exciting collaborations at home as well as looking outwards, across the world.”

“Jackie brings great energy and a passion for theatre-making that is far-reaching and collaborative and we look forward very much to Scotland’s national theatre entering its second decade with her at the helm,” commented Dame Seona Reid, who chairs the theatre’s trustees. “Under her leadership, we will see a commitment to building on the National Theatre of Scotland’s exceptional reputation for world-class theatre whilst engaging further with new forms of theatre, new audiences, new communities, and new talent.”

The announcement comes soon after some shocking theater news rocked the UK: Emma Rice has been dismissed as Artistic Director of The Globe Theatre by its board, a job she started in April. As we reported, The Globe is feeling an immediate backlash. Funders are reconsidering their giving money to The Globe, and the community is furious. The situation is so tense that it’s been described as “the brexit of theatre.”
