Job Summary

The Mango Ensemble are looking for an experienced Technical Stage Manager for the upcoming tour of our new show ‘American Candy’, 7th-20th Sept. 

Job Description

Zaynab and Connor work in an American Candy store. It’s closing time and a customer still hasn’t left. 10 minutes later, they’re hiding her unconscious body in a basement. In the following commotion, their secrets are revealed.

American Candy is a thrilling dark comedy about capitalist corruption, “bullsh*t jobs”, and the distrust it all generates. And how these anxieties are projected onto minorities. It tackles “American” cultural imperialism, rise of the far right and increased racism and misogyny in the UK.

The Place, Bedford, 13th Sept
