Procrastinating before cleaning the bathroom, I indulge in the seminal text of our nation's foremost poet Robert Williams. Let Me Entertayin You.

Centrists hate this one simple trick to stop rising fascism: redistribute wealth and end wars.

@dai_alectic hi Dan. I think the book is properly extraordinary.
Our union Equity has been dealing with this for decades but I don't think has used the PB as a category as we've been so keen to get members to think of themselves as workers.
Our existence is typically as self-employed-unemployed until we get work at which point we become a worker in a theatre or on set. And then we (especially in a long running theatre show) become more similar to a traditional worker clocking in and producing a commodity 6 days/week

Manchester theatre cancels show’s entire run ‘over Gaza and trans rights references’
The source of the dispute was a song in the play which referenced trans rights and contained the phrase “free Palestine”.
Shameful.

Without the freedom to criticise our institutions we will not be able to create art that is essential for a fair and free society.

Incredible that this long into this brutal death march and with over 40k Palestinians dead, even more disabled and sick, that we’re still centering the “discomfort” of people who feel attacked by protests against the campaign. I get it’s the playbook but it’s embarrassing.
Here's a 2nd little backstage vlog I made about us doing our dress rehearsal and first preview of The Comedy of Errors at Shakespeare's @The_Globe Theatre.
