Rickson, a former actor, has risen through the ranks of the Royal Court where he started in the youth theatre in 1991. During his time, he has directed award-winning productions such as Mojo and The Weir. Rickson succeeds acclaimed artistic director Stephen Daldry who is leaving to pursue a film career.
