Andrzej Lukowski: With Bluesky on the horizon, is the sun going down on ‘Theatre Twitter’?
Theatre Twitter is pretty much dead now, for a lot of reasons, but if Theatre Bluesky emerges in its place, it might look very different, says Andrzej Lukowski

The changes for the night time economy and events are huge.
Pleased to have contributed some thoughts to this interesting piece in the @theguardian.com about changing nightlife habits www.theguardian.com/music/2024/n... "Great art always starts outside of the cultural institutions; great music starts outside of the major venues".
‘By 8pm it is time to head home’: whatever happened to the big night out?
This week, the chief executive of a major bar group suggested 3pm is the new 9pm. Why have we stopped drinking and dancing the night away on a Friday and Saturday night?

When the stats don't lie.
Worth remembering that books still power a huge proportion of what we watch on our screens.
26% of global streaming shows between 2016 to 2022 were based on books.
Most (72%) were by Netflix -
Of the top 250 shows on Netflix last year, just under 1 in 5 came from books.
We need stories.
