Director

After playing numerous roles in Tingewick 2023 (and scarring the entire front row with his unique technique for identifying the contents of a stoma bag....), Campbell is settling into one very big role this year, the director. Despite writing and directing 'the (very pretentious) eternal night' at 15, he promises Tingewick 2024 will be a witty, exciting, fast-paced and vibrant show. With his diverse artistic talent and experience (and his ability to host a 15 course dinner party) we can't wait for the show this year.

Producer

Self-proclaimed 'freak in the spreadsheets' Athena Henderson is Tingewick producer this year. She's left behind her Ego, and is trading her disgust for the Jean-Radcliffe with an adoration of all things pink, plush and pachydermal. With her outstanding organisational skills, and the help of her amazing Firm (and the upcoming Taylor swift album) the Tingewick calendar this year is bound to be the best yet.

Ariana Minea

Treasurer

Gorgeous gorgeous girls always keep track of their finances- that's why this years treasurer is Ariana Minea, and boy do we treasure-her. Those who know her know you can always bank on her for a good time, and (ac)count on Ari for a supportive chat over a cup of coffee. We can't wait to see Ari flourish in this role, and have no doubt she'll work her assets off to raise money for charity.

William Godfrey

Assistant Director

Following previous work as 'Cinderella's Prince' and 'Hammerhead Shark', Will is best known for his show-stealing Tinegwick 2023 performance as the mischievous sidekick Mignon, a part which bears absolutely no obvious parallels to his 2024 role as Assistant Director. A professional prankster and newly an amateur juggler, the only thing between Will and a successful career in the circus is his inability to do a backflip (despite excellent coaching).

Assistant Producer

Holy f****** s***!!!!!!!! As assistant producer Carla's working closely as Thenie's side-kick (the producer equivalent of her year 6 role as 'Elf B') to ensure all our events and the plays run smoothly. Having expertly dodged all of her singing lines in Tingeaid with an elaborate plot to play the violin in the band, Carla has got a heart of gold and is no stranger to charity fundraisers so we're glad to have her on firm!

Amy Moynihan

Musical Director

Yeah the band! This year's musical director is none other than the supremely talented Amy Moynihan. Having wasted years being quote-unquote "leader of the orchestra", she has finally found a place to put her musical talents to good use. Despite being one of the most atopic individuals on the planet, she’s "nuts" for this year's Tingewick! A pro at running between the stage, the band, and an MRI machine (?) there is nothing our maestro can't Handel.

Alex Rawnsley

Head Writer

Despite being lured away to clinical medicine by the siren song of Drosophila melanogaster, Alex – cockroachlike– remains in the Tingewick '24 team as head writer! Infamous in Tingewick '23 for elbowing his way into as many additional dances as humanly possible, his commitment to Tingewick knows no bounds. Having been writing plays since year 5 (with the no-award-winning "Fairtrade Play for Monday Assembly"), Alex cannot wait to help make this years' script the best yet!

Rhea Takhar

Writer

From the highs of portraying the DCS in Tingewick, to the lows of awkwardly running into the DCS in the toilet after portraying her, Rhea has had one hell of a Tingewick experience. Unperturbed, she has steeled herself to be part of this year’s writing team! Her contributions to this year’s script include her sparkling sense of humour, her razor-sharp wit, and her bizarre penchant for imitating Jason Statham. With her frankly gigantic aorta (according to her ultrasound group), Rhea is definitely the heart of our writing team!.

Writer

Collecting the unofficial awards for both 'best dressed' and 'least dressed' sex dancer in TW2023, it's Isabel Samuel! A woman of many talents and a grasp on the English language, we are sure that her writing will be an inspiring medley of her musical virtuosity, sharp wit, and her poorly-suppressed emo phase. Doggedly brainstorming title ideas since TW2022, she's determined to make this year's script the best (?strangest) yet..

Proving that two Matts are better than one, it's Matt Partridge! After treating us to his dulcet tones and skilled accent work last year, Matt is here to help our new TW2024 cast find its beautiful voice. His work is sure to take inspiration from his show-stealing performance as 'singing caterpillar' in his primary school's Alice in Wonderland production, so be prepared for star quality! .

Vocals

Supporting the theory the name Matt is a 100% specific and sensitive test for singing ability, it's Matt Howard! Flavoured milk enthusiast and friend of famous footballer Adam Wharton, Matt's dark past as a church choir boy is just the backstory the Tingewick 2024 vocals team need. Following on from his starring role of Lou in Tingewick 2023, Matt’s here to make sure this year's cast hit all the right notes.

Music

Despite a successful stint as The Dark Lord in Tingewick '23, Eugenio has decided to hang up the bald cap and dedicate himself to the darker arts of musical arrangement. Outside of Tingewick, Eugenio enjoys climbing or running (or plodding) up mountains, and loudly proclaiming "yeah the band" at the most inopportune occasion. He can't wait to show you the fruits of many a confusingly written arrangement, and to finally decide what instrument he is going to play in the band.

Robbie Hardwick

Music

Robbie stole the show last year as Chad #2, and he's putting some of that star quality to use as part of this year's music team! A virtuosic trumpeter, stellar cricketer, and concert-quality piano-er, he is ready. Armed with his trusty (and self-painted) pink hard-hat, he's equipped for the peril that is being adjacent to the Tingewick audience.

Iona Phimister

Choreo

Following her en point(e) portrayal of both Mary McMenamin and Sigmund-sex-dance- Freud in Tingewick '23, Iona joins Rose as this years choreo team (after all... it takes two to tango). When she's not scaling fences and hacking away at her neighbours hedges with nail scissors, she enjoys running, yoga and dancing. With her flexibility and enthusiasm for dance, nothing can get in this girl's way - except perhaps her phobia of Ed Sheeran, but don't worry Iona - nobody is 'Perfect' (divide, 2017).

Picture of Rose

Rose Faure

Choreo

hover to read more

Owing to a devasting right toe injury, we were cruelly denied seeing Rose's portrayal of Boris Johnson Disease Survivor last year, but she's been gearing up for this job from a young age. In year 6, she played a murderous granny who finished the show by stripping off her apron and throwing it into the crowd, and now spends her spare time binge-watching a troubling combination of Dance Moms and Criminal Minds, and choreographing sex dances for Tingewick. We don't know what Freud would have to say about that, but we know the Tingewick 2024 choreo is going to be dead good.

Hana Ahmed

Head of Production

Following her critically-acclaimed turn as 'Bedazzled Speculum', Hana is here to produce the hell out of those heads, or whatever it is that head of production does. Armed with a hard hat, a vision, and a paralyzing fear of pigeons, nothing can stop Hana from turning the dream of TW2024 into a high-production reality. .

Abandoned as a baby and raised by wild sewing machines, there is no-one better than Kate to help run the costume department this year. She has never met an item of clothing that she couldn’t sew herself, to create her own more expensive, time consuming, and worse-looking version. Her other hobbies include climbing, enjoying long walks around the Swindonian concrete, and treating bottomless brunch as a competitive sport. Her eye-catching fashion guarantees that this year’s Tingewick will be the most chic yet!.

There's commitment to Tingewick, and then there's putting-kilos-of-talcum-powder-in-your-hair commitment to Tingewick; Abi Claridge is the shining example of the latter. Cross-stitching with her granny has prepped her not only for suturing, but also to be a crafty addition to our stellar production team!

Soutiam's time at medical school has involved multi-modal transport: car, bike and helicopter trip over Oxford and her house, kindly provided by HEMS. Armed with a saw, she will cut down any tree that stands in the way of showbiz - the woodwork of the Tingewick cupboard doesn't stand a chance. Elevating her scrubs with her chic eye glitter, painting the set will be a breeze for this crafty queen.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is that a chair? Malu put down the chair! Famous for her frighteningly rageful depiction of Prof. Handa, Malu is now channeling that passionate energy into TW2024's production. She's hoping that her talents for arts and crafts, running, and literally throwing furniture around on stage will make her the perfect addition to the backstage and production team..

Head of Design

Our head of design is pretty au fait with all things Barbie after time in this iconic role in last year's play. Sporting a pink skirt suit and an atrocious blonde wig (bearing uncanny resemblance to Margot Robbie), she's shown talent for design from the start. Play aside, she wants people to know that she has a larger aorta than Rhea's.

Design

From the moment he shaved abs into his torso hair in TW2023, it's been obvious that Bailey was destined for design greatness. By day: medical student; by night: rower, tattoo artist, and attentive father to >20 plants. We're beyond excited to see what this true artist will bring to TW2024; ?matching (and GMC-approved) tattoos for all of the cast and crew?

Alisha's expertise for theatre has been fostered over a lifetime of singing into her hairbrush by herself in her bedroom and starring as one of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan. Nowadays she channels her creative design efforts into painting by numbers, we only wish painting Tingewick set design was that cool!

Sophie Payne

Head of Publicity

Single-handedly manning a fan page for her dog aged 12, keyboard warrior Sophie's experience in publicity, coupled with her penchant for dad-jokes leads her to be this years head of publicity. In her spare time she enjoys stress-baking her way through medical school, and trying desperately to reach the dizzying heights of two consecutive pull-ups. Graduating from the back-end of the donkey in her year 4 nativity, she took to the stage as Queen of Haematology Debbie Hay in tingewick 2023. I guess you can say her love for all things Rita runs in her blood....

In her own words, she's "such a basic bitch lol", but Annabel is a force to be reckoned with. She's a triple threat: having done ballet, several instruments and singing from a young age but what you don't know is that she also holds a local record in Swindon for egg consumption. Rumour has it that on DGH she used to eat exclusively boiled eggs for dinner every night, much to the concern of her flatmates. At least this member of the publicity team will be adequately fuelled for all the showbiz to come!

Daniel Hains

Tech

Avid sporcle user, Dan Hains knows how to use a computer, and is therefore fully qualified to be a key part of our tech team this year. His proudest achievement is hitting a perfect 180 in darts, so we can only assume he'll hit a triple bullseye (and thereby score like 150 or something) as part of our tech team. He can successfully both move and handle, despite his previously fractured hip, and put this to good use as Jedi master Obi Wan Kenobi in Tingewick 2023. 6'4", if that matters.

.You may know her by her alter-ego 'Rap Medic 2', Aisha is another part of our brilliant TW2024 tech team! Her virtuosic rapping ability is second only to her frankly ludicrous talent for pressing buttons. Refusing to let feeling cold literally all the time hold her back, Aisha is ready to produce some absolute tech wizardry for TW2024, with her trusty hot water bottle firmly in hand.

Heart and soul of TW2023, Dhru is back on the tingewick scene. The designated 'tech guy' of his family, owing to his mind-boggling ability to plug in HDMI cables, we are blessed to have him as an addition to our tech team. His enthusiasm for Tingewick shone as Derek in TW2023, and we are pleased to report that it remains just as high ever since!.
