Sofia Gallucci (she/her) is a British-Italian theatre director and dramaturg based in London, currently Assistant Director at the Royal Shakespeare Company. She creates work that feels bold and daring, with a liveness that fizzes with energy.

She has directed and assisted on productions in the West End and across the UK, including Shakespeare’s Globe, Bristol Old Vic, the Watermill Theatre and the RSC. A former Resident Director on SIX (West End), Sofia won the 2024 Tall Stories Directors’ Award for her original show Hussy.

She trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and holds a first-class degree in English Literature from the University of Exeter. As a playwright, she is an alum of the National Theatre Writers' Course, and her debut play Eton Mess premiered at the Exeter Northcott in 2021. Sofia is also the Creative Learning Associate at Pilot Theatre and is a script reader and literary assistant for the Finborough Theatre. Sofia is currently reading her PhD in early modern literature, exploring trans-embodiment and lovesickness in Renaissance drama.

Aside from all of that, Sofia enjoys trail running, cooking, second hand bookshops and writing about herself in the third person.

Sofia is represented by Tom Ping at Global Artists.
