Jemima Levick named Tron Theatre artistic director

In April 2021, she was appointed artistic director of A Play, a Pie and a Pint, Glasgow’s long-running series of lunchtime plays.

She has also directed more than 42 professional productions for the National Theatre of Scotland, Edinburgh’s Royal Lyceum and Traverse Theatres, Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre and more.

Roberta Doyle, chair of the Tron Theatre’s board of directors, said: “Jemima brings a wealth of creativity experience and skill to the Tron, and she will inspire artists, audiences and participants alike in the years ahead.”

Tron Theatre executive director Patricia Stead added: “From a very strong list of candidates, Jemima stood out with her artistic vision, her understanding of the challenges ahead for Scottish producing theatre, her strong alignment with our commitment to support the theatremaking sector, and her appreciation of the Tron’s ambition to engage more with the people of Glasgow.” 

On Twitter/X, A Play, a Pie and a Pint released a statement saying: “While this is sad news for our team, we can think of no one more deserving of this opportunity to lead at one of Scotland’s flagship theatres.”
