Michael Boyd
Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company.

He also talks about his own evolution as a theatre artist, with significant stints in Moscow and Glasgow; the experience of joining the RSC as Associate Director and later rising to the artistic directorship; the work he had to do addressing the variety of troubles that surrounded the RSC as the time of his appointment; why he speaks of ‘knocking Shakespeare off his pedestal’; the status of the rebuilding of the main theatre in Stratford; and what his plans are for the company in the next few years.
