Sonia Friedman Productions is seeking applications for a full-time experienced, Resident Director to work on the London production of STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW.

Your duties and responsibilities will be those normally expected of a Resident Director on a first-class West End production.

They will support the Associate Director in leading understudy rehearsals and cover runs. They will provide a strong support to the directing team, liaising between many different departments, so it is important they have good communication skills.

They will then continue with the production to regularly note the show each week, run understudy rehearsals with the Associate Director and be present at key moments during the running of the production (for example, recasts).

We are committed to a workplace that embraces diversity and inclusion. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from those currently underrepresented in our workforce.
