Don't miss out on the run of Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond at Grand Theatre this and next week. The Grand Ambition team are knocking it out the park again. This is funny, heartbreaking and powerful theatre with its finger right on the pulse. Top performances all round.

The thing with theatre is you can’t really expect it to become self-funding.
You have to think it’s worth funding indefinitely; it’s not a startup, it’s not going to grow up some day and make money. Theatre doesn’t make money. It makes experiences, connections, memories, community, it makes artists.

Really enjoyed my day yesterday working with the Torch Theatre - staff and board - on their new direction. Some thoughtful, decent people sharing their insights and working positively together on a theatre they love.

Sprinkles presented by The Other Room at Jacobs Market was really funny and affecting tonight. Really worth a visit in the run up to Christmas. So often brilliant and stalwart, Elin Phillips steps up to give a properly defining performance in this terrific monologue by Katie Elin Salt.

Richard Hawley was at Tramshed last night. Bernard Butler played in support. Wonderful gig. I can also confirm Hawley has small thumbs and a wife from Port Talbot.

"And Wales is taking the brunt. Research commissioned by performing arts union Equity revealed this summer that overall arts funding in Wales had dropped by 30% since 2017, compared with a drop of 11% in England, 16% in Northern Ireland and a 2% boost in Scotland." Vanessa Thorpe - Observer

Reminds me of this:
In 2022, then deputy PM Dominic Raab mocked Rayner as a “champagne socialist” for attending the opera during the rail strikes. Rayner quipped back: “The Marriage of Figaro is the story of a working-class woman who gets the better of a privileged but dim-witted villain.”
