We are looking for actors for our summer season show!

‘Worm food’ is a black comedy about the comings and goings of a palliative care ward. Laugh, cry, and relax for two weeks with a pair of recently reconnected sisters, unprofessional medical professionals, clinically endorsed heroin, and a few adult diapers.

And the really great thing? No memorising lines!

That’s because we’re working towards what’s called a ‘staged reading’ of the script. Basically, a performance where you’re up and acting things out, but without all the bells and whistles (or the pressure!) of a fully polished production.

If you’re around during January and want to be part of the gang, we’d love to have you! Fill in our google form to get in touch: https://shorturl.at/syLP1

Feel free to email wormfoodsuds@gmail.com for more information.

Content warnings for the play: Profanity, mentions of drug use, mentions of death, mentions of suicide.

Cast List:

Emily: A high achieving, type-A, non-fiction reading young woman with a plan for everything, including her death.

Kate: Sister of Emily. Sarcastic and free spirited, but critically lacking in organisation and ambition. Definitely has friends.

Nigel: Ex-husband of Emily (divorced on diagnosis). Emotional but not emotionally intelligent. Lover of romantic speeches and John Legend songs.

Dr Taylor: Best looking palliative care specialist on the ward, and he knows it. Good at winking, bad at managing his patients.

Ainsley: Seasoned palliative care nurse. Disappointed but not surprised by everyone’s behaviour.
