Following his starring roles as Ashok Handa, 'Shorts Guy', and 'Hip Examination Patient' in Tingewick 2024, Bhargs is taking a step back from the spotlight and settling into a more low-key role as AD. Although his campaign for Director ended in crushing defeat, he is certain he's still got the charm and wit to propel the show forwards and back up Poppy's creative vision with the raw, mechanical efficiency that he's famous for. Unfortunately for him, his first hurdle as AD will be mastering the lost art of spreadsheets, a skill which has evaded him for the past 21 years.

After a critically unacclaimed performance as former German chancellor Angela Merkel in Tingewick '24, Abi is now stepping into the role of Assistant Producer for 2025. With experience in keeping fellow firm members off the streets, she's hoping those admin skills will help her wrangle this year's fun/chaos. When not sending passive-aggressive reminder messages, she can be found trying to convince people that korfball is a real sport or quietly sobbing over the current state of Welsh rugby. With a talent for being in the back of things, Abi's ready to take on whatever Tingewick throws her way—preferably not another donkey costume…

Equipped with 22 years of excessive pop culture consumption, an encyclopedic knowledge of YA fiction, and a mastery of ChatGPT that borders on wizardry, Emily steps into the role of Head Writer. With her devoted writers beside her, she's determined to craft a script bursting with inappropriate jokes, puns, and songs. Her breakout role as Pipette No. 2 proved her dedication to joining as many songs and dances as possible while delivering the fewest lines. Offstage, she's usually found reading or crocheting increasingly elaborate creations. Emily's biggest challenge? Writing a joke others actually find funny— (but she won't stop trying!)

Back by popular demand, Stupid Ugly Pisses-His-Pants James promises to keep the script dry (insert deadpan emoji). If Lexie's dedication to the bit wasn't obvious by the 'pissing pants' every time they went on stage, it was when they did the final show night (including sex dance) after a 6-hour tattoo. When they aren't panicking about medicine being hard, Lexie is trying to coordinate their limbs on a pole to prove they deserve the half blue. Their entire closet is polewear and LBDs from freshers - if you need sex dance costumes, you know where to find them.

Having spent more time making costumes than doing her actual degree, Beth believes that there is nothing that can't be achieved with blood, sweat, and a hot glue gun. Her accolades include spending far more time than is reasonable creating bop costumes out of caution tape, moonlighting as a drag king, and creating an award winning chest for a panto dame. As head of production, she is excited to continue her long-standing tradition of avoiding her real responsibilities (and to get her hands on all the goodies in the Tingewick cupboard).

Following a fun stint as last year's Spermaid, Louisa is trading in her shells for the paint brush to join this year's production team. Though her artistic ability may need a little resuscitation, she's ready to dive into the deep end armed with nothing more than a generous dose of enthusiasm!

After her divine debut as Pipette #3 in TW2024, Oishee was awarded 'Voice of an Angel' and, with that, received an enlightening revelation: her true calling was to serve in Vocals. When she's not ramming the Computer-On-Wheels into the JR corridors, Oishee can be found probably pushing her bike up Headington Hill serenading the locals with a soulful rendition of 'Toxic Pony'— holy C.O.W! Armed with her beloved piano app, a prayer and some questionable counting skills, Oishee is ready to help the new cast unleash their heavenly voices and bless Tingewick Hall.

Although restored to his human form with unholy amounts of clotrimazole, Will has not lost his irritating passion for singing. Be it in the shower, the kitchen, or under his breath on a ward round, he can't help but use those vocal cords at any opportunity. Outside of medicine, Will is his band's drummer and a keen runner (if only to improve his lung capacity to absolute belt some Robbie Williams). He cannot wait to pull together some ridiculously complex harmonies and sing them far too loudly from the wings.

Medic by day, dancing queen by night: Julia enjoys long walks along the aisles of the JR M&S, obnoxiously bright clothing, and an opportunity to boogie all night long. PEGging and sex dancing her way through Tingewick '24, Julia is ready to settle down with a kind and comforting pillow until Tingewick '25. Her likes include music with groove, curling the lightest possible weights in Osler house gym and making delicious nutritious food (plug @julia.likesfood). Her dislikes include cycling up the hill, the big light and M&S overcharging for their pastries (I just want a cinnamon bun without getting out ANOTHER loan on top of the - redacted - pounds I'll owe at the end of this degree).

Having come a long way since crying in her first tap audition (what do you mean 5 YouTube tutorials isn't sufficient for a Theatre Royal pantomime?!), Kirsten is twirling with excitement to be partnered up with Julia for this year's Choreo Team. In spite of her *strictly* classical background (is this where we name drop Birmingham Royal Ballet?), Kirsten prides herself on trying to cram as many styles of dance into Tingewick as possible—someone has yet to tell her that watching 2 TikToks on Salsa does not a professional make....

After bowing his way through last year's Tingewick as the resident violinist, Shawn returns to take the baton as Musical Director. When he's not orchestrating band parts or stress-transposing sheet music at 2 AM, you'll find him throwing people around in Judo, lifting heavy things for fun, or passionately defending Taylor Swift's discography. With a keen ear for music and a well-trained arm for conducting (or arm bars), he's set to make this year's performance a hit—both on and off the stage.

After making her Tingewick debut as a royal and a dancing cowboy (versatility is key), Alice is back to join the music team. Having featured as the only woodwind member of The Band '24, this year she's on a mission to recruit enough players to rival the brass bois - if not in volume, at least in enthusiasm. Alice can often be found on a run, training hard for the band's real main event: the interval pub trip. Yeah the band!

After hitting those high notes on the trumpet in the Tingewick '24 band, Will's back for more this year as part of the music team. When he's not deciding the next hike or mountain to climb, he can be found playing in the uni brass band. This year he's ready to make Tingewick 2025 unforgettable — Yeah The Band!

After having portrayed Grad Med 2 last year, I have decided to take a sabbatical from undertaking my 16th PhD to be a part of this year's design team! When not learning how to save lives (a.k.a learning how to stand up for hours on the ward round without fainting) you'll find me baking, in the gym or yapping!!

Despite not appearing in last year's play (and still recovering from FOMO-induced tachycardia), Eldona has finally scrubbed into the design team - armed with an overworked MacBook, pink glitter packets, and an alarming number of anatomy-themed Pinterest boards. She might never understand the Krebs cycle, but she sure as hell understands colour theory. Get ready for a set so good, you'll need a crash trolley on standby!

Michael's theatrical TW debut was certainly enthusiastic, if nothing else. With roles ranging from Father Christmas to Magic Mike, he made audiences laugh, cry, and question their choice to sit in the front row. Now, trading in his tearaways for templates, Michael steps out of the spotlight and into the warm glow of his laptop screen as one of this year's Publicity Officers! A former Social Sec with a gift for annoyingly persistent event promotion, Michael comes armed with Canva Pro and no shame—expect puns, posters, and an inexplicable desire to turn on your post notifications! Was he born for this? Probably not. But when has that ever stopped him?

Keya is sadly parting with the Abhi bald cap to be part of your tech team this year! Perhaps the least tech-savvy person, she previously tried to help with the lighting for a garden play. She did not succeed in spotlighting the actors but did manage to start a small electrical fire. She hopes to be more successful for Tingewick 2025, and has checked the locations of the fire extinguishers in Tingewick hall, just in case.
