Sofia Gallucci

Director

Sofia Gallucci (she/her) is an award-winning British-Italian theatre director and dramaturg.

Sofia works across new writing, musical theatre and restaging early modern texts which have a potent social resonance. Her productions make even the small and intimate feel powerful and epic, aiming to amplify lost voices and preserve neglected heritage. She is the recipient of the 2024 Tall Stories Directors’ Award.
