Fiercely adopted northerner from South Wales. Theatre producer, actor, occasional TikTokker. Senior Producer of Middle Child.
My bro got married yesterday. In the biggest council estate move, my Nan took everything that wasn't nailed down. She left with 3 massive bags of sweets (she's a type 1 diabetic), 2 bottles of shots, a pair of flip flops, a branded foam glow stick, 3 tubes of bubbles & the fucking bridesmaid flowers

Unlike some theatres, our panto doesn't subsidise the rest of our programme. In fact, it always makes a loss 😵💫 Find out more in our latest blog post from senior producer,
