We are recruiting 2 Assistant Stage Managers to join the Curious Incident Schools Tour.

Touring to schools is a key component of the National Theatre Learning programme. The NT firmly believes that all young people should have access to high-quality live theatre and this programme enables them to see it in their school.

The production will visit schools in Doncaster, Hornchurch, London, Rochdale, Salford, Sunderland, Wakefield, Wigan and Wolverhampton.
