It was a real privilege to watch these scratch performances @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social with Producer Caroline Nash and Director Kitty Benford. We had a great evening seeing new work and such talent in a really fabulous space. Great to see artists so well supported by a brilliant team and theatre.
It’s the VERY FIRST AMPLIFY SEASONS!🥳 Be part of it & get down to the Neville Studio tonight! Toilet cubicles, existential dread & the origin story you didn’t know you needed, all bases are covered👍 (All BSL interpreted – why not come to the Deaf Artists Meet Up first?)

At 6 years old i saw Starlight Express, utter rediculous! Loved it! Cue singing the soundtrack on repeat (sorry mum) & rollerskating on my driveway. 40yrs later & just seen the new show, camp, cheesy & just brilliant. Cue singing songs (sorry mum) Huge shout out to costume designer Gabriella Slade
