United Kingdom National Theatre Productions (ntp) Full time

We are looking to recruit a Company Stage Manager (War Horse UK Tour 2024-26) - Fixed Term Contract (12 months)

The National Theatre ’s acclaimed production returns in an all-new UK tour. War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical experience which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.

Key show dates:

* Puppetry rehearsals will commence on 8th July 2024

* Full company rehearsals will commence on 15 July 2024

* Technical rehearsals from 26 August 2024 in Wimbledon (New Wimbledon Theatre)

* First performance on 5 September 2024 at the New Wimbledon Theatre

All dates are subject to change and confirmation.

Venues announced so far : New Wimbledon Theatre (Wimbledon), The Lowry (Salford), Mayflower Theatre (Southampton), The Marlowe (Canterbury), Sunderland Empire (Sunderland), Theatre Royal Plymouth (Plymouth), New Theatre Oxford (Oxford)

The successful candidate will have the following:

  • Professional experience in theatre directing, including working with understudies and leading understudy rehearsals

  • Knowledge and experience of the working practices of a large-scale touring production.

  • Experience in leading moves into venues and working with Stage Management and technical teams to deliver technical and dress rehearsals.

  • Proven ability to closely observe and note performers in rehearsal and performance environments

  • Experience creating and using understudy cover charts
