As co-director of Fifth Word Angharad Jones first sought advice from former NP Artistic Director Daniel Buckroyd 16 years ago. 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.
