Utterly heartbreaking that this is what we've come to, but Greater Manchester Asylum Hotels Group have written a statement to respond directly to the concerns and questions they’ve heard from local communities. @gmiau.bsky.social

Please read, please share.

Just had the privilege of being in a room of wonderful people, with a phenomenal piece of #interactivetheatre, and the most compelling thing a room full of wonderful people can possibly be given:

A MYSTERY BOX.

Fantastic as always @ontroerendgoed.bsky.social

Not spreading this too widely, but we're holding some industry sharings of our newest show 'The Cost of Everything' at Camden People's Theatre on Weds 19th Feb @ 7pm; and HOME, Manchester on Fri 28th Feb @ 2pm & 5pm.

This is invite-only, but if you're a friend of the company, do drop us a message ❤️

A personal favourite from @wondermark.com

Feels particularly relevant within the recent resurgence of benefits bashing.

Fellow political writers/theatre makers, how do you deal with this problem?

Our recent shows have involved a lot more research, talking to experts, and getting into the nitty gritty.
But of course the more detail you get into, the more you risk alienating audiences and sacrificing fun/silliness...

Here's the thing when politicians talk about 'slashing the welfare bill'. It's always in the abstract. It's always spoken of as a big lump sum, expressed in billions.

There's very rarely talk about which individual benefits are too generous.

Let's look at how much people are actually entitled to.🧵

While Sir Kid Starver takes the brave, grownup decision to attack vulnerable benefit claimants again, worth dropping this little chart.

(Also worth a reminder that Starmer consistently underdeclares official gifts given to him in office. Like a sort of... fraud declaring the benefits he's given.)

While we're still cooking up new live theatre work, you can watch shows like this one online, and play some of our original online games at our website hiddentrack.org.uk
