A new poem of mine (gulp) is being performed at this brill night. Pls support @lillydriscoll.bsky.social, @de-mys-tify.bsky.social is one of the few programmes for actors from low socio-economic backgrounds that pays them to attend. All funding has been lost. So pls share, attend -whatever you can!

In two days we've raised £6,700! Very blown away by this. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far 💘

We still need a lot more to make the term happen, so would really appreciate the shares, tell your friends. Rich, famous folk etc. It honestly all helps.
