Meet the new guard running British theatre

Stage | The Guardian: You wait ages for a top job in British theatre – and then 11 come along at once. When, back in the autumn of 2010, Michael Grandage decided to quit as artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse in London, few could have guessed that so many others in the profession would join the scramble. Rachel Kavanaugh at Birmingham Rep was off a few months later. The following July, Nicolas Kent announced he was leaving London's tiny but powerful Tricycle after 28 years, rapidly followed by the artistic director of Scotland's Traverse. In October 2011, the top spots at the Royal Shakespeare Company fell vacant, followed in December by their equivalents at the Royal Court.
