Job Description
Stefanie is a mixed-race, working class, neurodivergent, queer Mancunian playwright. She is open-minded about musical styles, but the successful applicant will need to take some inspiration from the music of Jamaica, whether through ska elements, traditional songs, or something else. This new play explores the experiences of working class children with shared Manchester / Jamaican heritage, and gender roles for children of the Jamaican diaspora. The R&D will invite 2 performers, a puppeteer and a director to explore Stef’s ideas. There is potential for those who work on the R&D to become part of the creative team as the project develops (although this is not guaranteed).
This R&D is supported by Curiosity Productions, Cloud Cuckoo Land Theatre and Z Arts.
