A talented theater director can breathe new life into an old play, and David Lan, the new artistic director of the Young Vic Theater in southeast London, has done just that.
Following his successful production, starring Jude Law, of " 'Tis Pity She's a Whore" at the Young Vic last year, Lan, 48, was appointed to his current position in January, succeeding Tim Supple, who ran the theater for seven years.
Hailed by critics for the modern feel he brought to John Ford's nearly 400-year-old work, Lan has worked the same magic again with "Julius Caesar," which opened at the Young Vic in September, kicking off the theater's 30th anniversary season and his first as artistic director.
