Hamida and Juweira are childhood friends who now live their lives for their children's futures. Both women are dealing with issues that they keep below the surface of their friendship. They are not the only one with secrets - Rahma, Hamida's daughter has some of her own. Rahma wants to be open with her mother, but it is from her that she learned how to leave things unsaid.

Easter May Week
Show, Director, Producer, and Musical Director Applications
Applications are open for the CUG&S May Week show ***ON PUNTS!*** What will the show be? You decide!
This year we’re inviting you to apply with *any show* you’d love to see staged. It could be G&S. It could be something completely different. It could be an opera, a musical, non-musical theatre… All we ask for is an exciting concept that will work on punts.
You can apply as a director, or in a team which includes a director/producer/musical director or some similar combination if you wish. If you are applying in a team, your team must include a director. You will not be disadvantaged by applying on your own; if we appoint a director only, you may then open applications for an MD and producer at a later date. We can offer you help with this if you like.
If you are applying as a team, each team member should write their own section of the application, and these will be judged separately.
Applications should be sent to Adam Fyfe: secretary@gands.org.uk
Here are some prompts for things you might talk about in your application. This is just to give you a starting point; you don’t have to write about everything we’ve mentioned here, and you can include other ideas too.
Directors:
– Why have you chosen this show?
– Your ideas for the show
– Any relevant experience (none required!)
– What are the challenges of directing a show on punts?
– Feel free to include visual materials with your application if you would like to
Musical directors:
– What excites you about this show’s score? What are its challenges?
– Your ideas for the show
– How will you balance working with the orchestra, director and singers?
– Any relevant experience (none required!)
Producers:
– How do you see the role of a producer?
– Your plans for the show
– Any relevant experience (none required!)
– Any strategies for publicising and/or encouraging people to get involved
Not sure where to start? Here are a few shows that you might like to consider:
Iolanthe: Fairies invade the House of Lords.
The Grand Duke: A theatrical conspiracy which hinges on a sausage roll.
Cox and Box: Two tenants unwittingly live in the same flat, one by day and one by night.
The Zoo: Two pairs of lovers are parted and reunited during a day at the zoo.
We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions, you can get in touch with Adam Fyfe at secretary@gands.org.uk
Deadline: Sunday 24th February 19:00
