He leaves having directed over 35 plays at the West London venue and will bow out with a production of Georgia Fitch’s I Like Mine With A Kiss, opening on February 14.
Bradwell said: “I think it’s time somebody else has a go. I want to spend time concentrating on writing and devising my own work and I would like the opportunity to work on a broader canvas. I would also like to take a gap year and direct all the major plays of Anton Chekhov.”
The Bush’s board will shortly be advertising for a replacement artistic director to lead the theatre’s planned move into a larger building.
