Next To You I Lie - Madhouse
Easter Week 7
Looking for
- Set Designer
- Costume Designer
- Stage Manager
- Sound designer/op
- Lighting designer/op
- Publicity Designer
'Next To You I Lie' examines the glamour model industry of the 1980s and its potentially corrosive effects on human relationships. It was devised in 1989 by Trouble & Strife, a women’s theatre company founded by Cambridge students with the explicit aim of producing work ‘by, for and about women’. The play explores themes that are still worryingly relevant today, raising questions about self-image, objectification, masculinity, and the validity of relationships between men and women in a society that is inherently misogynistic.
If you're a fan of a late-80s aesthetic then apply for one of these roles! The roles can be high/low commitment depending on what you're looking for, and I urge anyone to apply regardless of past experience!
Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/alice8046/next-to-you-i-lie/
In line with the ethos of both Madhouse and Trouble & Strife, applications for this role are open to female and n/b people only :)
To apply, please send me (Alice) a short paragraph outlining:
- why the play/project interests you
- any experience you may have (absolutely none necessary!)
Contact: at805@cam.ac.uk
Deadline for applications: Monday 30th April

A Cat Walks By Itself
Easter May Week
Looking for
- Stage Manager
- Publicity Designer
- Trailer Director
- Video Director
- Photographer
STAGE MANAGER - the stage manager will be responsible for all the usual elements of the show (which shouldn’t be too tricky, as it’s a Corpus one-nighter), but will also be responsible for the cat when the cat is backstage during the performance.
PUBLICITY DESIGNER - cats, poetry, what more could you want for inspiration? Publicity will likely be solely online.
TRAILER DIRECTOR+VIDEO DIRECTOR - the prospective trailer will feature a cat, so if you’re a budding cinematographer looking for a relatively uncommon experience then this might be for you. There’ll also ideally be some video during the show itself (also featuring a cat), though with a different tone (think health and safety video clip parody), so feel free to apply for both roles or just one.
PHOTOGRAPHER - there will be a cat, and some actors. We’ll need the usual rehearsal shots and headshots.
Send questions and applications to chris.lazenbatt@gmail.com, including why you want to work on the show, any initial ideas (for Publicity Designer, Trailer Director, and Video Director), previous relevant experience where available, and samples of previous work where available (for all except Stage Manager).
Contact: chris.lazenbatt@gmail.com
