We are delighted to announce that Natasha Bucknor MBE will be joining the company as Executive Director from 17 February 2025, taking over from Interim Executive Director, Sarah Nicholson.

Natasha brings a wealth of experience to the company, having previously worked with theatre companies such as the Almeida, National Theatre Studio and Talawa Theatre Company, and also through consulting for a range of organisations across the cultural sector. In 2019, Natasha received an MBE for services to theatre.

Natasha joins us at a pivotal time as we begin Fair Play, a nationwide initiative to address socio-economic inequity in theatre – working with organisations around the country and advocating for creatives who are working class or from low socio-economic backgrounds.

The project focuses on mid-career artists who face significant social, cultural and financial barriers to sustaining their creative careers or progressing to leadership positions. This is an area that Natasha has a keen interest in and in her spare time, she mentors both emerging and mid-career administrators and general managers.

Natasha is currently Interim Executive Director at Clean Break and is also a Trustee at Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse.
