Interim Artistic Director for The Gate

STEF O'DRISCOLL will be interim Artistic Director of The Gate, taking over from ELLEN MCDOUGALL in March.

An award-winning theatre director, she will work closely with CEO SHAWAB IQBAL, advocating for diversity as the company searches for a more physically accessible home.

"As people begin their journey back to culture, I am keen to examine the Gate’s commitment to internationalism," O'Driscoll said.

"What does internationalism mean to our local diverse community and to this city? Every marginalised identity intersects with class. How do we combat inequality through an anti-classist lens on internationalism? How does this connect with the climate crisis and inspire change?"
