Thoughts on #TheOresteia at @_bridgetheatre
I loved it!! But the mixed response I think is a symptom of where UK audiences are at currently, what do they want? What is too much? Too little? Too... European?

Started a new Substack! A working diary on surviving in London as a playwright and dramaturg: the successes, failures, the bits inbetween, small writing bits, and the wierd dodgy bits only my non-existent therapist should know. Check it out!! X

#WegMetEddyBellegueule (The End of Eddy) at International Theatre Amsterdam.
don’t know any Dutch, but such a evocative and passionate performance, ft the most beautiful sex scene I’ve ever seen on stage. Has set the bar high for Gig theatre for me forever - I also cried
#Smorgasbord at @LandUTheatre
An endearing romcom / incredibly relevant and pertinent discussion.
A prod with vivid colour and harsh set - matching the interesting texture created with a structure fusing opposing tones.
Great new play from @Luke_T_Oliver
Gavin is such a laugh, a hard one to edit so kept it candid!
Some great stuff in here, particularly about how to look after the room as the director!

This is giving me some sort of rare patriotic pride which apparently Hamilton did for America.
Get this show on tour, ending with a run at @NationalTheatre
Now THAT'S how you do a @OfficialSteps musical.
@thestepsmusical is just PERFECT.
No notes.
Here's the megamix curtain call from tonight to give you a taste of why this show is so brilliant!
#MakeGoodThePostOfficeScandal at @OmnibusTheatre @PentabusTheatre @NPtheatre
Is such a moving, nationally driven, chamber musical with bursts of Gig! With an end which swells with somber, yet inspiring togetherness.
Heart full.
Always a pleasure to chat to National Treasure Mr @thisisAlanTurk x
I loved talking to @sam_pout at the #CreativeStagePodcast about acting, audio work, the industry and @equityuk ✊🏼
Give it a follow and a listen. 🎙️

Like look at him on the end there cmonnnn
How could he not be the next James Bond
#TheOtherPlace at @NationalTheatre
This is it. THE play on grief. Brilliant focused story - not a fan of ending but that’s just me 🤷🏼♀️ Proper naturalism sparked with the expressionistic. Acting which keeps you leaning closer and closer. See it.
