Dominic Cooke will take over as artistic director of the Almeida Theatre in London in 2026, succeeding Rupert Goold. Known for his work at the Royal Court and recent successful productions at the West End and National Theatre, Cooke expresses excitement about returning to the theatre environment. He aims to build on Goold's legacy, which he praises for its quality and innovation. Cooke's experience spans musicals and important theatrical works, making him a celebrated figure in the industry, which the Almeida board recognizes as beneficial for its future.
Cooke described Goold's Almeida as a beacon of quality and innovation and added: I'm hugely grateful to him and his team to be handed an organisation in such good health.
His production of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession, starring Staunton and her daughter Bessie Carter, opened at the Palladium last month.
