Indhu Rubasingham is the artistic director of the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn, London. She succeeded Nicolas Kent in 2012.
Rubasingham was born in Sheffield, the child of Sri Lankan immigrants. Her interest in theatre was ignited by a spell of work experience at Nottingham Playhouse as a teenager. She studied drama at Hull University, before working at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, where she assisted Mike Leigh, and working as an associate director at the Gate Theatre, the Young Vic and the Birmingham Rep.
Rubasingham began her tenure at the Tricycle with Red Velvet, a play by Lolita Chakrabarti about the actor Ira Aldridge. The production starred Adrian Lester.
