After 46 years as a lighting technician in theatre, Graham is retiring in January 2027 — and rather than let it happen quietly , this podcast is going to talk through it in real time. Lights Down is a countdown: part practical guide to leaving a long career , part honest reckoning with what it means to walk away from work that was both a passion and a punishing schedule. In this first episode: why this show exists, what a life in theatre lighting actually looks like from the inside, and the first honest admission of what retirement actually feels like from 7 months out. In this episode: - What theatre lighting work really involves - Why “Lights Down” as a title - The double loss of leaving a passion career with unsocial hours What’s ahead this season Next episode: “The Call Sheet” — unsocial hours, and what a busy and unpredictable working week actually meant across my career, and a first touch on funding my retirment, Intro & Outro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/matt-stewart-evans/final-waltz License code: OKNFKWDRQHNFFFRG
