Somebody/Nobody is looking for a Lighting Designer

Somebody / Nobody is looking for a Lighting Designer  for our 4-night run at Corpus Playroom from the 28th to the 31st of May.

SCRIPT CONTENT WARNING

Includes depictions of mental illness and substance abuse.

SYNOPSIS

Cara’s supposed to be in her prime. She’s a fresh graduate with a stable job, a diet that isn’t exclusively spaghetti hoops on toast, and the kind of boyfriend your grandparents like more than you.

But behind closed doors, she’s struggling to stay afloat as the chronic illness that blighted her undergrad resurfaces.

As her health deteriorates again, her dad faces redundancy, and an old friend comes abruptly back into her life, Cara is confronted with harsh questions: to what extent should she allow her health to determine her identity, and how much can she allow it to impact others?
Somebody / Nobody is a play about care - the intimate, often unconscious ways we give and receive it - and chronic illness. It’s also about finding light amongst darkness, whether in humour, relationships, or the occasional ultra processed food.

PLEASE NOTE

As Somebody / Nobody looks at themes of chronic illness, we're particularly keen to hear from applicants with experience and/or understanding of it. This is by no means a prerequisite; we are just keen to reflect real life in our prod team and cast!

——————————————————————————————————————————

Lighting Designer  Requirements: previous experience preferable. Lighting plays a core part in the narrative of the play so we’re keen to have someone who balances technical knowledge with an expressive intuition!

As a one-set, 4-character play, Somebody / Nobody is an ideal, lower-commitment project to work on in final term!

Please send a brief (200 words max) summary of why you're interested in working on the show and any previous experience you might have to Freya (she / her) at fjmw2@cam.ac.uk by Friday 18th of April with the subject "S/N [Name of Role Applying For]".

Contact Fjmw2@cam.ac.uk before 18th Apr 2025 23:00 for more details.
