      “Your skin oughtn't to curl - ought it - when he just comes near you- ought it? That's wrong, ain't it? You don't get over that, do you - ever, do you or do you?”

      The city. A woman is restless. A woman is suffocating. A woman is silenced.
      The woman revolts.

      It’s America’s Golden Age, a time of happiness, freedom and prosperity––or is it? For one young woman in the industrial, male-dominated world of the 1920s, life is nothing like she hoped it would be. Restless and unfulfilled in a passionless marriage and an unwanted motherhood, she finds her only joy in the form of an illicit love affair. But when reality sets in and she must return to her routine existence, she’ll go to any lengths "to be free".

      Inspired by the infamous 1927 murder trial of Ruth Snyder, Machinal is a riveting look at the danger that can come from a life unlived.

      • Sun 18th Nov, 3:00pm-6:00pm, Committee room, Fisher Building, St Johns College
      • Mon 19th Nov, 11:00am-2:00pm, Dressing room 2, ADC

      Lent Week 3

      AUDITIONS !! AUDITIONS !! AUDITIONS !!

      The Lent Week 3 Musical, SHE LOVES ME, is looking for 15 wonderful people to make up our cast. With 7 leads and 8 ensemble roles on offer, this will be a beautifully heartwarming and incredibly fun production and we cannot wait to see all of you!

      See the attached file for a brief character breakdown, summary of the show and audition extracts.

      The first round of auditions will take place on Thursday 22nd November at St John's New Music Room. Choose one of the extracts from the google doc below (all of which will also be available on the door) and prepare a musical theatre song of your choice, preferably not longer than 2-3 minutes.

      A round of callbacks will then be held the following week (although not everyone who gets a callback will receive a role and not everyone who receives a role will have had a callback!) where we may give you character specific extracts and songs to prepare.

      Any questions, email me at jlw79@cam.ac.uk or find me on Facebook (Jamie Williams) and I will tell you whatever you need to know! Similarly, if you would like to audition but are unavailable at these times, please message me and we will either plan another time to meet you or accept a video audition!

      *****Auditions for THE HISTORY BOYS*****

      Auditions for Alan Bennett’s The History Boys (Lent Week 1 Mainshow) will be held this Friday and Saturday at the ADC!

      Please sign up for a slot here: https://doodle.com/poll/c49gwd4sbin7ytmm

      Rehearsals will begin at the end of this term, and there will be an expectation to return at least a week before the end of the holidays to continue rehearsing.

      The roles of Scripps, Crowther, Rudge, Akthar, and Lockwood will be cast gender blind.

      There is going to be a lot of focus on character work, so we are looking for people who can create and embody the characters of young men/the staff, rather than play an extension of themselves (hence the decision to cast some roles gender blind), so please consider this in your preparation.

      The audition extracts will be posted before the auditions, but there will be extracts on the door so no need to print off for yourself if you don’t want to.

      All auditionees should be current students in higher education and resident within the city of Cambridge.

      Any questions or queries, or if the doodle poll fills up, email me at pw395@cam.ac.uk

      ALSO - reminder that producer, AD, MD, and TD applications are still open - keep those applications in!

      Today's Late Late Morning Show Live! - Eggbox Comedy

      Michaelmas Week 8

      FUNNY PEOPLE WANTED!!!

      Come and audition for ***Today's Late Late Morning Show Live!***, an end of term, two-night ADC late, where daytime legends Jimmy and Billy are recording their first ever late night slot! You can be a part of it!

      We are on the hunt for some wild and wacky characters to populate the show, as well as sketch comedians and musicians to bring this world to life through the form of comedy songs and spoof adverts!

      Jimmy and Billy can't do it alone and we need YOU to come join the fun. Come down to ADC BAR on WEDNESDAY 14TH NOVEMBER, auditions will be happening on a DROP IN BASIS between 3pm and 6pm!

      Bring along an idea for a character (**this can be one you've performed before that you want to bring back to life OR brand new**) that could be interviewed during the show in the style of Graham Norton/Jonathan Ross. It could be pop superstar Celine Dion or chip shop owner Dawn - any and everything goes!! The show will be very collaborative, with improv and audience interaction to really get the 'live' recording feeling, so at this stage all you need to show us is a sense of this character, what makes them funny, and why they might be great for interviewing! No need for a full monologue or anything.

      ALTERNATIVELY, we are also after some sketch writers and comedy musicians to help bring other aspects of the show to life. Bring along a song or a sketch to show us; again, the writing will be very collaborative, so just come along to give us an idea of what you've got!

      FINALLY, we are also on the hunt for a LIVE BAND! If you want the chance to perform in an ADC show for two nights, we are after a keyboard, drums, sax and guitarist to join our ranks. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

      Auditions are open to EVERY and ANY one, no matter how experienced you are, whether you're a Footlight or a fresher, come along!!!

      Any questions, drop me (Will) a message on Facebook or email me on wo227@cam.ac.uk ! Equally, if you can't make the slot, send me a message and we can sort something out!

      'Charming, handsome, and with an opinion on everything, once upon a time Platonov seemed bound for greatness. Now he is a simple country schoolteacher and husband to a dutiful yet unimaginative wife. Arriving at the local estate one day for lunch with old friends, he is reunited with Sofya, a beautiful and recently married woman from his university days. Halfway between Hamlet and Don Juan, Platonov is desperate for a bit excitement and can't resist taking advantage of his one true gift: making himself utterly irresistible to women.

      Adapted from Chekhov's untitled earliest complete work, which remained unperformed in his lifetime, Wild Honey is Michael Frayn's romp through the Russian countryside. A blending of the farcical and the tragic, this unique piece captures the combined absurdity and despair at the heart of Chekhov's scenario, creating the world of a gloriously bittersweet summer where none of the rules apply.'
