Do you know if there will be a transcript of this episode available? I'm currently working on an English/British Sign Language production of 'Antony and Cleopatra' and I'd love to be able to share this with the Deaf actors too!

I'm a millennial and I'm in my 40s. They're not even talking about "young people", they're talking about nearly half of all working-age people, but as if we're all irresponsible teens.

I'm a non-disabled stage manager, and I have (gently) stopped this happening in at least 2 shows. It's usually a very clear sign that an actor is struggling to get a handle on their character, but the answer is always that they need to do more work, not that they need a 'prop'.

I'm just about to start a six month tour. There will be much crying, in many hotel rooms, I can assure you.

Encountered this IRL once. I was working on a terrible one-woman show, all paid for by her rich boyfriend. Boyfriend dumps her, she is effectively homeless. 12 hours later she's been offered a friend's empty 3 bedroom flat in Knightsbridge to live in.

Even though it didn't win, I'm still delighted that our show with integrated BSL, captioning and audio description was nominated in the 'not the West End' category

That's fair, I think I'm just remembering being at the Edinburgh fringe, discovering that I was the entire audience, and immediately forgetting how to work my own face.

I think you should do the whole show/talk/whatever it becomes to ONE person. One stranger, just sitting there listening to you talk. That's the most anxiety-inducing thing I can think of (for both of you!)

I have a list that I update whenever I get a good recommendation. Though some of them have been on there for years and I haven't bought yet/found in a charity shop. Probably 50% of them come from @JosieLong @robinince's Book Shambles @cosmicshambles

Not in Edinburgh I'm afraid. And every interpreter I know seems to be booked up for months in advance.

Our robot hoover has always been referred to as @lampyjohn's son and my step-son, for reasons that have never been entirely clear.

Electric blanket. You might think that getting into bed at the end of the day is already the most perfect thing. But getting into a warm bed? Even better.

Renting in London mate. Only plain white walls allowed, so no risk of seeing anything more suspicious than the occasional damp mark. Yellow wallpaper? Must be a homeowner.
