Lucy Davies Appointed CEO of Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival

Lucy Davies, former executive director of London’s Young Vic Theatre, has been named the new chief executive of Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival. She will succeed Andrew Comben, who stepped down in April after 16 years in the role. Throughout her career, Davies has worked with prestigious institutions, including producing shows at National Theatre Wales and London’s Royal Court Theatre. Brighton Dome, part of the Royal Pavilion Estate, includes three arts venues, and the city`s annual festival is the largest curated multi-arts event in England. Davies expressed her excitement, saying, “Brighton Dome is a unique, iconic, and magical set of spaces with so many stories and memories baked into its bricks. Brighton Festival is one of the longest-running, most joyful, and dynamic festivals in our cultural calendar.”
