When Sophie lands a new job in parliament, it’s a chance to leave her past behind. Working as an assistant to a charismatic MP, she climbs the ranks as he rises meteorically from backbencher to leader of the opposition. But when scandal sweeps Westminster, Sophie is forced to choose between ambition and integrity. MESSIAH is a new play about power, corruption and what happens when the personal becomes political.

MESSIAH is looking for a Set Designer!

The Set Designer will be responsible for imagining and constructing MESSIAH’s set. As the play takes place in and around Westminster, this job presents the opportunity to recreate and reimagine historic sites on the Cambridge stage.

No prior experience is required. We are excited to work with theatremakers from a variety of artistic backgrounds!
