Watching the verdicts in the Gisèle Pelicot trial come in live on the BBC News page is sobering. So many names. Guilty all.

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.

…And now National Theatre of Wales! My god. Their production of The Passion with Michael Sheen remains the blueprint for me in terms of community engagement work and galvanising a whole town around an artistic endeavour. Gutting.
Both Coney and Freedom Studios announcing they’re closing in the space of 24 hours. One organisation where I am a former board member and the other where I worked alongside force of nature Madani Younis. Both very close to my heart and helped shape me and my work. Gutting end to the year.

I know this will seem obvious to anyone who works in the arts or loves the arts but I genuinely think it needs saying again and again - I watched my son's secondary school xmas show last night and saw kids I've known for years shed all shyness and self consciousness to perform and it was beautiful

This morning two theatre companies (Freedom Studios and Coney) have announced their permanent closure. Both 'left' the National Portfolio in 2023 and have found the climate impossible since. Their statements are heartbreakingly similar. Without massive funding reform many more will follow in 2025.

or they start with one and there vision and mission drift as their own continued survival becomes the primary concern.
Theatre has a vision problem.
When I say vision, I mean an articulation of why a building or organisation exists. A purpose. A statement of how you want to change the world.
A coherent, inspiring vision was essential to everything we did at Company Three.
But so many theatres don’t have one.

I really wanted to love intermezzo but lack of any character in these people, cultural nuance ( throwing a bit of Eastern European diversity but being too comfortable to actually interrogate it properly ) and just again writing about rich people’s problems , makes it so boring

In today's piece, @hollyomahony.bsky.social explores why so many British theatres have been silent on the conflict - and attends a workshop on how to talk about Palestine ‘in a way that’s meaningful and not defensive’
We need to talk about theatre’s silence on Palestine
Is it sensitivity, or censorship, that’s behind the lack of response on British stages?
