Jamie Sophia Fletcher is a director and musician specialising in musical theatre, new writing and re-envisioning classic stories for contemporary audiences. Her distinctive artistic voice is shaped by her lived experience as a northern, neurodivergent, queer, trans woman, informing work that is deeply personal, impactful and widely accessible. She has developed a reputation for crafting emotionally resonant, visually striking productions that connect deeply with audiences.
Jamie is most notably recognised for her critically acclaimed UK revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask (Leeds Playhouse and HOME) which was celebrated for its precision, flair, and emotional depth, earning widespread praise and multiple awards. Other directing credits include a vibrant teen horror adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth (Storyhouse, Chester), and Happy Meal by Tabby Lamb (Theatre Royal Plymouth and Roots, supported by Oxford Playhouse and ETT), a Fringe First Award-winning romantic comedy that toured the UK and Australia. Graham Norton called Happy Meal “a show that will melt the hardest heart.”
In 2027 Jamie will be directing the smash hit musical Little Shop of Horrors in a new version for Leeds Playhouse in association with Oxford Playhouse.
Jamie Sophia Fletcher is currently the RTYDS Fair Play Associate Artistic Director at Leeds Playhouse.
