Hi #bsky!

I'm a #playwright & am new on here.

Lets link up & follow each other?

I'm close to completing my #TroublesTrilogy consisting of:

'CONTINUITY' ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Guardian;

'LEGACY' (#DruidDebut 2023 via the #DruidTheatre #NewWriting Programme from 500+ submissions)

...& now 'RECONCILIATION'...😊

This is what I call a "healthy rejection". It's from the highly regarded Fishamble Theatre Company.

They merely suggest looking at two points which I have now addressed.

Take heart; rejections can oft times be very "healthy" and not something to get down about!

Why might those in power fear an educated #workingclass?

In 'The Intellectual Life Of The British Working Class' #JonathanRose tries to provide an answer to this question amongst others & it's totally absorbing & insightful!

#ChristmasRead Seneca: On The Shortness Of Life.

He observes that people spend too much time doing what they don't want to do & that life's too short - or is it?

Prioritising correctly can leave you all the time in the world...

Just saw 'Till The Stars Come Down' by #BethSteel at The #TheatreRoyal.

It's a well written, well-crafted play and made for a highly enjoyable & thought provoking few hours.

So why not treat yourself? You'll laugh your knickers off...I know I did!
