BBC Two - The Culture Show, 2013/2014, Vicky Featherstone - All Change at the Royal Court

Clemency Burton-Hill with a profile of the Royal Court's first female artistic director.

Clemency Burton-Hill presents a candid and revealing profile of Vicky Featherstone, the Royal Court's first female artistic director in its 57 year history.

For over 50 years, the Royal Court Theatre has been a flagship for new British writing and a bastion of provocative, ground-breaking work. And now this most revered theatrical institution has a new artistic director at the helm, who is on a mission to shake things up even further. 

As this intimate profile reveals, Vicky Featherstone - the Royal Court's first female artistic director in its 57 year history - is determined to make theatre accessible to all, not just the privileged few from SW3. 

For over four months, presenter Clemency Burton-Hill was given exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Featherstone as she set about shaping her opening season and got candid insights into her character and approach from long-term collaborators John Tiffany, award-winning screenwriter Abi Morgan, Dennis Kelly of 'Mathilda: The Musical' fame and the Guardian's Michael Billington.
