We are seeking an experienced Company Stage Manager for The Pianist, a new musical based on the extraordinary memoir of Wladyslaw Szpilman.

Rehearsals are in London, followed by technical rehearsals and previews at MAST Mayflower Studios, Southampton, before returning to London for the Park200 run.

Accommodation in Southampton and reasonable travel expenses will be provided by the Producer if applicable.
