The Brighton Festival have announced that legendary stage, screen and television actress Vanessa Redgrave, will be the Guest Director of Brighton Festival 2012 which takes place from May 5-27.

Full programme details including events in which she will be participating will be available at the public launch on Wednesday February22.

Andrew Comben, Chief Executive of Brighton Dome and Festival said:
“Brighton Festival goes from strength to strength and revealing our Guest Director is now one of the most anticipated aspects of our internationally acclaimed Festival. With Anish Kapoor, Brian Eno and Aung San Suu Kyi over the last three years audiences have experienced an extraordinary range of art and ideas. It is therefore very exciting for us to now be in the hands of one of our most renowned and respected British actors, Vanessa Redgrave. It’s a privilege to have such a great ambassador of the performing arts at the helm of Brighton Festival and to explore many of her passions and interests across our three week programme. I’m looking forward to another wonderful Festival in May.”
