Just watched Woman of the Hour
Anna Kendrick has done an outstanding job there. So much of that tension and creeping dread is so familiar and she's drawn that out beautifully.
Big recommend, but brace yourselves!

Another great #VenuesNorth in beautiful Newcastle.
It's always exciting and inspiring to see the work being created in our region, and to catch up with fellow programming bods.

Really enjoyed Rivals, but my favourite thing about it is that technically Danny Dyer is now a Disney Prince.

@theguardian.com 's best of 2024 features Ockham's Razor's breathtaking Tess, and London City Ballet's beautiful and exciting Resurgence.
Both of which we brought to York Theatre Royal!
It's such a treat to be able to book work like this for a regional theatre
