The knives are out for London’s National Theatre boss Trevor Nunn. He’s being accused of not delegating, of not developing new talent, and producing work that ought to be better. But hold on, writes one critic. “Not only has he toiled at least as hard in office and rehearsal room as his workaholic predecessors, Eyre and Peter Hall, paradoxically getting himself attacked for not sharing or delegating power, but he has brought us some of the finest productions and performances I’ve seen.” – The Times (UK)
