Nicholas Hytner

Nicholas Hytner is a prominent figure in British theatre, notably as the former director of the National Theatre and co-founder of The Bridge theatre in London, which he established in 2017 with Nick Starr. He is currently in the news due to the recent acquisition of The Bridge theatre and the Lightroom venue by Trafalgar Entertainment. This sale also includes their joint venture, London Theatre Company (LTC). Hytner expressed that after nine years, it felt like the opportune moment to move on from these ventures. In addition to this significant business development, Hytner is also directing a new play by James Graham titled 'The Standard of Living,' which focuses on the life of economist John Maynard Keynes and is set to open at the Haymarket theatre. Hytner's ongoing directorial work and the sale of his theatre ventures highlight his continued influence and activity within the London theatre scene.
