The Royal Shakespeare Company is to have A Woman as a permanent artistic director for the First Time in its 60-year history.

The two New Joint artistic directors will replace Gregory Doran , who stepped down earlier this year after a decade.

The pair will join the RSC, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, next June.

Harvey said in a statement: " We bring a Shared Belief in All That the RSC can be - a home for radical, relevant theatre made by artists from across the UK and the wider world. A Global Community inspired by Shakespeare, bringing together myriad voices to tell the stories of Our Time - and of all Time . "

Harvey's first professional theatre job was as assistant director at Shakespeare's Globe under Mark Rylance , and she took over Theatr Clwyd in 2015.
