Now as Artistic Director Angharad discusses his focus on new writing with a rural thread and national ambition including Richard Benson’s The Farm, adaptations of Michael Morpurgo’s Farm Boy, The Butterfly Lion and how taking artistic risks, re-shaping the company infrastructure and investing in new talent across a 9-year stewardship of New Perspectives has helped Daniel to grow in his career.
