@connorehughes Hi Connor - we’ll check the mailing list and make sure you’re on it… do check your spam tho, in case we’ve ended up there!

[OpenHire @open_hire]

Hello! Our volunteer team are unfortunately slammed with work this week (go and see @JoshRoche1 ‘s Importance of Being Earnest @rxtheatre opening tonight) but we will send out the jobs email tomorrow - sorry for the delay!

[OpenHire @open_hire]

Yes Ed. We agree.

[Ed Madden @edwmadden]

An extraordinary opportunity for the right person. An 18-month, £61k p/a role developing plays for the RSC, and working alongside senior leadership on literary strategy. This plus the Associate Playwright roles at the Court feels like a bit of a sea change.
