John Tiffany (Rip)
Ambassador
“Whenever I work in schools, I’m constantly surprised when students express that they don’t feel ownership over the culture of their country. It has become one of the driving forces of my education projects; to transform that feeling of exclusion into a sense of entitlement and to blast open the doors of art, performance and creativity for each and every student.”
For his work on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, John Tiffany received Tony and Olivier Awards. He directed Once at NYTW and on Broadway, for which he received a Tony Award. As associate director of London’s Royal Court, his work includes The End of History…, Road, Hope, and The Pass. His other work for the National Theatre of Scotland includes Macbeth (also Broadway), Let The Right One In, The Missing, Peter Pan, The Bacchae, and Black Watch, for which he received an Olivier Award. Other credits include The Glass Menagerie at American Repertory Theater and Broadway, and The Ambassador at BAM. Tiffany was a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University in the 2010-11 academic year.
