MY EYES ARE NOT SCABS is looking for a Producer/Assistant Producer!!!

Hello! We are looking for a Producer(s) /Assistant Producer(s)  for our Pembroke New Cellars Week 5 Late show, 'My Eyes Are Not Scabs', a collection of experimental avant-garde scripts first written and performed by Jeff Nuttall and The People Show amidst the countercultural fervour of the 1960s! We plan to make this show really ambitious in terms of its experimentation, staging and set, so this would be a great role for someone looking to get stuck into a whole host of areas of Cambridge theatre!
