Great night on Tuesday at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough catching up with my talented former student Kerry Wright and her punchy play KAILEY, getting its professional premiere 6 years after she began developing it on the Leeds Uni Writing for Performance MA

Great to see Zodwa Nyoni's engrossing play Liberation yesterday @rxtheatre.bsky.social - a fascinating account of the 5th Pan-African Congress in Manchester in 1945, which kickstarted the post-colonial independence movements. Also fab to catch up with Zodwa and my ex-colleague Adam Strickson
