A theatre director or stage director is an instructor in the theatre field who oversees and orchestrates the mounting of a theatre production (a play, an opera, a musical, or a devised piece of work) by unifying various endeavours and aspects of production.
 The director's function is to ensure the quality and completeness of theatre production and to lead the members of the creative team into realizing their artistic vision for it.
 The director therefore collaborates with a team of creative individuals and other staff, coordinating research, stagecraft, costume design, props, lighting design, acting, set design, stage combat, and sound design for the production.
 If the production he or she is mounting is a new piece of writing or a (new) translation of a play, the director may also work with the playwright or translator.
 In contemporary theatre, after the playwright, the director is generally the primary visionary, making decisions on the artistic concept and interpretation of the play and its staging.
 Different directors occupy different places of authority and responsibility, depending on the structure and philosophy of individual theatre companies.
 Directors use a wide variety of techniques, philosophies, and levels of collaboration.

Cats is a 1998 direct-to-video musical film of the long-running West End production of "Cats", Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical based on "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T. S. Eliot.
 Lloyd Webber himself personally oversaw orchestration for the film and called on Gillian Lynne, the original show's choreographer, to personally train the cast for the film.
 Trevor Nunn, the original director, did not serve as the director of this production.
 Andrew Lloyd Webber and others on the production team for the film wanted to keep the feeling that viewers watching the film could still get the sense of seeing the show live, by having all views be facing the stage, therefore, getting multiple views of the set, but still feel like the viewer is part of a live audience, with several close-ups.
 Initially released to VHS and subsequently DVD and Blu-ray, the film has since been shown on television channels including PBS, the BBC, and Ovation TV.
 It was filmed at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
