Justin Audibert, Chichester Festival Theatre’s new artistic director, brings with him a love of the epic and a huge commitment to learning and participation, drawn here by the “immaculate” work Chichester’s reputation rests on.
Justin takes over full time at Chichester on July 10. For the moment he is sharing his days between Chichester and London’s Unicorn Theatre where he is currently artistic director. A freelance writer and director who has directed productions for the RSC and the National Theatre, he is relishing the challenges that Chichester will bring. Justin is promising continuity but says inevitably his tastes, as they emerge here, will be different to those of his predecessor Daniel Evans who has now taken over at the RSC.
