    We’re thrilled to announce that Sir Damon Buffini has agreed to extend his term as National Theatre Chair until mid-2027. Damon has overseen a period of immense growth and success at the National Theatre since becoming Chair in 2016. At the request of the Board, he has agreed to remain as Chair for an additional three years, working together with Co-Chief Executives Indhu Rubasingham and Kate Varah - providing valuable continuity and depth of knowledge, which will ensure the theatre remains thriving and vital for the nation.    We are also pleased to welcome leading philanthropist Dame Marit Mohn to our Board.  The driving force of Marit’s involvement with the NT has been her belief that all young people should experience the arts. Her support has included the underpinning of the National Theatre’s nationwide work with young people, allowing the organisation to fulfil its mission to be truly national and to inspire and support young people. At this crucial time of opportunity and growth, Marit’s expertise will be a huge asset to the NT.    Incoming Director Indhu Rubasingham has made her first creative appointment, inviting award-winning Director Robert Hastie to become her Deputy Artistic Director. As Artistic Director of Sheffield Theatres for eight years, Robert has overseen a period of great success for Sheffield Theatres producing landmark productions including, Standing at the Sky’s Edge, which transferred to the Olivier Theatre in 2022. Robert will join in January 2025 and work closely with Indhu to support and shape the National Theatre’s creative output.
