Frankcom steps down as LAMDA Director

SARAH FRANKCOM has stepped down as Director of London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), as an internal investigation into her management style begins.

A letter addressed to the school's board said that since Frankcom’s appointment in November 2019, the school had been “characterised by a large number of resignations”.

The drama school says it will carry out a “full and fair” inquiry into allegations made by current and former staff members.

The board noted its appreciation for Frankcom's work at the school and confirmed the search for a new director is under way.
