Yesterday, I got to see the first ever educational performance of The Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty's Theatre. It was one of the most electric theatrical experiences of my life. Over 1000 students in attendance from 30 schools. Screaming throughout. Absolutely banging. 🔥

Had a gay old time @LatitudeFest this weekend. Our base was a charming shed nestled in the enchanting Faraway Forest, where we offered a diverse range of daily theatre workshops. (Can on table is water not beer, promise)

Some serious post-show bank holiday blues today but I am so so lucky to have spent the last week in an ACTUAL ROOM with this brilliant lot. I can’t wait for you all to feel the same back in the room feels in the next few weeks and months. (The joy not the blues)

I wrote a little piece about how cricket became a thread which ran through pandemic life this summer; providing narrative, meaning and context in a time when it was often severely lacking.
