Lovely day at Manchester Met delivering workshops to acting students on ‘Intro to Directing.’
The whippet was not present, even though he gave me his best ‘good boy’ face this morning.

It’s going to be tough to hold anyone’s attention but pointing out the 50% reduction in arts funding and the imminent closure of somewhere nearing 40% theatres mid-panto season is a good move. Just desperately hoping the govt has a plan for this #theatre #arts

My essential Theatre books which I use when making work:
8. Why is that so funny? - John Wright
The title might suggest it’s about joke writing but this book is a thoughtful and inspiring tool for making theatre from its fundamentals, written by an experienced teacher and director
