At last - an organisation to stand up for professional stage directors in the UK! It always seemed unfair that there wasn't a clear career path into the profession: when surely there must be hundreds of capable creatives who could become directors. But there hasn't been any real understanding of the needs of directors (and producers), for their profession.
I am sure that Stage Directors UK will represent the profession well to the public, the government and to many others. Any directors present - please join up.

I'm also surprised that there aren't more organisations to respresent theatre producers, choreographers, stage managers etc in the UK. While of course Equity and BECTU can represent them in general, I think more profession-specific organisations like Directors UK, would go a long way, to representing each profession, and also making the public aware of what they are about.
