GIVING OUT NEEDS A LIGHTING DESIGNER!

The 2026 CUADC Camden Fringe Show needs a Lighting Designer  ahead of its Cambridge Run in the Corpus Playroom at the end of this term!

Liam is sick. Matthew is sick of him. Trapped in a run down flat in Belfast, dying of AIDs, Liam depends on Matthew for everything. He rants and rambles, desperate for release or entertainment. Matthew, meanwhile, finds his patience wearing thin. Liam is no angel, and Matthew is no martyr.

This irreverent dark comedy traps the audience with the characters in the claustrophobia of illness, caregiving and resentment. One scene, one set, spanning one endless argument: every beat of the frustration and the building tension is felt in real time. Balancing raw humour with intense emotion, this two-hander confronts sickness, shame and guilt through a distinctly Irish humour.

Rooted in the real historical context of both the Troubles and the AIDs crisis, the play sheds new light on overlooked perspectives. With biting dialogue and unbroken narrative, ‘Giving Out’ offers an unflinching, immersive theatrical experience which is as funny as it is devastating.

To apply, email Jude (Director, jh2504), Georgia (Assistant Director, gf396) & Josh (Producer, jp2104) with answers to the following questions:

1) Why do you want to lighting design Giving Out?
2) What experience do you have that would help with this role?

Contact jh2504@cam.ac.uk/gf396@cam.ac.uk/jp2104@cam.ac.uk before 3rd May 2026 23:59 for more details.
