Shriti Vadera is also the first person of colour to lead the prestigious theatre firm. FMTNews UK Royal Shakespeare

LONDON: Britain’s Royal Shakespeare Company on Wednesday announced Shriti Vadera as its new chair, the first female and person of colour to lead the prestigious theatre firm.

As well as producing plays by the celebrated 16th-century playwright, the company also presents works by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and modern writers. She added she was “excited to be supporting and championing” the RSC, as it “emerges from one of its most difficult years, responding to the global pandemic”.

She served as a development under-secretary in former British prime minister Gordon Brown’s government and was appointed to the House of Lords in 2007.
