Lyn Gardner named as new tutor on writing MA at Drama Centre

The theatre writer will look at how reviewing and arts journalism works in relation to writer training courses at the Drama Centre which is part of Central Saint Martins.

Yesterday, Gardner was announced as the new associate editor of The Stage, two months after her theatre blog was cut by the Guardian. She will write weekly columns and monthly features for The Stage whilst continuing her role as theatre critic for the Guardian.

Many thanks for all the good wishes today. I have been deeply touched. Thank you
