It has been announced that David Gilmore, artistic director of the St James Theatre, is stepping down at the end of November along with the theatre's executive director Guy Kitchenn. The pair are stepping down after two and a half years at the venue.
Over the past year the St James Theatre has staged many productions including: Our Country's Good, Daddy Long Legs, Bully Boy and Scenes From A Marriage. Gilmore has already programmed next year's season, which includes the West End premiere of Urinetown directed by Jamie Lloyd.
Gilmore and Kitchenn said: "It has been exhilarating to be part of the creation of a new theatre for London; from building site to a fully developed and flourishing part of the West End theatrical scene. We are happy to be be leaving the St James Theatre safe in the knowledge that it has a very exciting season ahead. We are both very excited about the future and have some wonderful projects we hope to bring to a wider audience, and of course hope that some of these will be seen at the St James in the future"
