About Dishpatch

Dishpatch delivers the best restaurants to every home in the UK. We believe the best chefs deserve the biggest tables and that incredible food shouldn’t be confined to the lucky few that live in the city. Since we began in March 2020, we’ve partnered with the UK’s most pioneering restaurants and chefs – including Michel Roux Jr., Yotam Ottolenghi, Angela Hartnett at Cafe Murano, and Jose Pizarro – to deliver hundreds of thousands of meals across the country nationwide. Dishpatch makes it possible to experience incredible restaurant food in your own home.

Backed by the world’s leading consumer and brand venture investors, Dishpatch is growing fast and our sights are set on building a brand, product and collective that both restaurants and diners truly love. We’re continuing to rapidly increase the diverse range of restaurants and chefs we partner with to serve our growing community of diners.

On diversity

While many companies place an emphasis on diversity, we could not place a higher importance on it. London’s wonderful food scene, like many other ‘eating cities’ in the world, is an expression of the diversity of the city. We believe in creating a team which is a community of people as diverse as possible, joined together by a love and passion for food.

Every role in the Dishpatch team is open to applications from all sections of society. We’re committed to building a culture of inclusion, belonging and connection as we work together on building something truly great.

Where are you based?

Our office is next door to our central fulfilment premises in Poplar, London, right next to Canary Wharf.

What are your working hours?

Most of us work 9-6, but we adopt a flexible working culture & hours. It’s more important to us what you’re getting done, not when you’re doing it.

Casting “Monster Beautiful,” a live musical theater performance taking place this April 20th

This is a live workshop for our production, which we are producing both a theatrical and feature film for.  We are looking for talent that wishes to take part in this journey with us and may want to be considered for the feature.

ROLES

Mrs. Sven
Age: 30 – 60
Skills: Acting, Musical Theater, Singing

The brilliant and strong willed Mrs. Sven is the wife of equally brilliant scientist and college professor Ethan Sven.  Once the a loving power couple, the two have drifted from each other over the years and as her husband disappears into his basement laboratory for days and weeks on end, Mrs. Sven finds distractions in her various affair partners, some of whom are the top pedigree of their graduating college classes. She is facing an impasse in her life and is finding herself growing older and missing out on her own dreams and ambitions.

Austin
Age: 15 – 22
Skills: Acting, Musical Theater, Singing, Guitar (optional)

An ambitious, aggressive and talented artist with a strong passion to leave the dreary, dead end town of his origin and make a name for himself. His demeanor comes off to people as abrasive and rude, but he has no time for pleasantries, as he sees the clock ticking away and has only one shot to establish himself and his life on his own terms.

SYNOPSIS

Monster Beautiful is like Frankenstein meets Masters of Sex, set in a modern yet uncanny alternative world. The musical blends the comfortable feel of classic entertainment with the raw, unbridled energy of Rent bursting uncontrollably and unexpectedly from the seams, subtly weaving contemporary challenges to gender roles, expectations, stereotypes, sexuality, and agency.

Monster Beautiful follows a novice scientist, Ruthie, and her mentor, Professor Ethan Sven, on the eve of both of their greatest triumphs. Ruthie is a shoe in to receive a major award that would solidify her career as a scientist and professor Sven needs just one more piece to complete his greatest and most horrible secret project, the culmination of years of research that links him directly to the Whitechapel murders, the perfect woman created from the pieces of his nightly victims. Yet Ruthie’s artistic lover, Austin, can’t understand her infatuation with the pedestrian, black and white world of science and Mrs. Marion Sven, lonely from years of neglect, has found comfort in the arms of her many lovers. Ruthie and the professor are about to get everything they ever wanted, when one question both drives them apart and binds them together to complete one final experiment, “How far should you go to create a masterpiece?
