Get involved with shows at ADC Theatre (Bar):
We are looking for a new Polidori, the protagonist of our musical, for the Cambridge run. Ideally this is someone based in Cambridge as a student as rehearsals will take place in the first two weeks of term.
Polidori was hired to be Byron’s travelling doctor, but as time goes on, it becomes clear he is there to tidy up Byron’s messes after him. He is ambitious and wants to advance his writing career, looking to Byron for both guidance and companionship, but is snubbed by him and the others, who view him as nothing more than a nuisance. He feels overlooked and underappreciated, and eventually gives up trying to fight for recognition and instead takes back his power by exposing Byron’s flaws and mistreatment to the world through his novel, The Vampyre.

We are looking for an AD/AP combined to help us with the London and Cambridge upcoming runs. This is technically a professional AD credit if you join us for the London run as we are a stand-alone company there. The role would include creative direction and assisting Gina in executing a combined creative vision (working with a show that has already premiered but is undergoing changes and needs a fresh eye), as well as assisting with show admin in the run-up to the next Camden run.

We are also looking for a technician experienced in get-ins, especially lighting and editing a base rig for the requirements of our show. You would be working closely with our lighting designer , Rob Woodland, who is also available to operate during the show.

We are looking for a publicity officer to bring 1816: The Year Without A Summer to London and Cambridge following our successful 2025 Camden Fringe run. This role would involve running an excellent marketing campaign to sell the show during our professional run in the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in London (30th September - 4th October), in the Corpus Playroom in Week 1 of Michaelmas (15th - 18th October), and potentially beyond as we continue to expand as a production.
