Jemima Levick interview: The direct approach

On CATS nominations and associate directorship of Dundee Rep.

JEMIMA Levick was sunning herself in Marrakech when the texts started arriving. It was nice of people to keep in touch, thought the director, but why was everyone congratulating her? A call to James Brining, artistic director of Dundee Rep, put her right. "Oh yes, I've been meaning to tell you," he said, going on to explain that Levick's production of Beauty And The Beast was figuring prominently in the nominations for the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS) released earlier this week.

David Levin interview

'I'VE never auditioned in my life," says David Levin, 72, former artistic director of Israel's Habima National Theatre, who settled in Edinburgh with his Scottish wife last year after a career that has taken him all over the world. "If you were an actor I would observe how you walk in, if your handshake is strong, if you lean towards your coffee or take the coffee to you. I would ask a very embarrassing private question to see how you would react. I'm looking for personality."
