Michael Grandage to Head Own Theater Company

As previously reported, Michael Grandage will be stepping down from his post as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse at the end of the year. Today, the New York Times' ArtsBeat reports that Grandage will form his own theater company. In an interview with the London's Evening Standard, Grandage spoke of his longevity in the industry and said, “It seems entirely appropriate to think about what I can take from those years, form a company that’s buildingless and go out and make work."
