1816 is looking for a DIRECTOR

1816 is looking for a Director ! 1816: The Year Without A Summer is the Camden Fringe musical for CUMTS, with a run at the Fringe in the summer and hopefully a home run in Michaelmas 2025. When five Romantic authors are trapped inside together for the summer, literary masterpieces are born, relationships crumble, and chaos ensues.

Trapped indoors by torrential rain, legendary writers Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley and their friends, Polidori and Claire, search for inspiration by the gloomy Lake Geneva. But things fall apart the longer they are stuck together. Polidori’s diary is brought to life in the 1816: The Year Without a Summer musical.

We are looking for a director  with a passion for bringing the creative vision of our show to life, and someone with great communication, leadership and organisational skills. Our director  will work closely with the writers to bring the musical to life, as well as bring out the most in the actors to create powerful, emotive performances.
