Two major names in the British theatre world come together: award-winning director and the National Theatre’s former artistic director, Sir Nicholas Hytner, plus award-winning West End theatre producer and founder of Aria Entertainment, Katy Lipson. Chaired by JR’s Arts Editor Judi Herman, Hytner will share stories about the changes he’s seen in the industry throughout his illustrious career, as well as looking to the future and Lipson will talk about her prolific producing experience and what it means to be part of a new generation of theatremakers.
This event is being put on in association with the Lyons Learning Project as part of our new partnership. Taking place during JR’s 20th anniversary year of celebrations, it links to our book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave, which examines the past, present and future of Jewish culture.

In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we’ve launched our first book, Age of Confidence: The New Jewish Culture Wave, which comprises five essays by experts in their fields that cover Jewish culture over the last two decades in a period that spans the attacks on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 to the challenges of creating culture under Covid today. Interspersed with the essays are a series of archive pieces from past magazines, ranging from Mike Leigh on Arnold Wesker to Linda Grant on Saul Bellow, plus an introduction by Howard Jacobson.
