Hello! Here I am fresh from the other place with an image from earlier in the year to signify a new start! Onwards!
What a fantastic balance between light and dark - Lifers by Evan Placey @swkplay.bsky.social last night really played with my sympathies - one minute laughing with prisoners who are later revealed to be something quite different. Recommended.

Tonight is the Press Night of @ruthdsilva.bsky.social's Bungalow @theatre503.bsky.social and I'm excited for this wonderful play - it's a beautifully written piece about a family coming to understand the profound secret that is sheltered within the family home - it's subtle and funny and I loved it.
🏚 Bungalow previews are in full swing!
Head to our Instagram to learn more about this bold new play from writer, Ruth D’Silva, director, Beth Kapila and cast members, Lydia Bakelmun (Agatha), and Fisun Burgess (Bernadette).

The EU has ordered Elon Musk to let their engineers have access to Twitter's code to prove it isn't biased and passes the EU's Laws for Freedom of Speech.
He is damned either way, hand it over and Twitter will be banned.
Refuse and Twitter will be banned too.

Looking at the chaotic events in Washington, my theory is that Elon Musk - rather than being a genius - is really the Liz Truss of American politics. But richer.

I'm researching how co-creating theatre with communities can promote social justice. Would love to connect with artists, activists and academics.
I wrote a blog about starting this project, so maybe I'll stop boring my friends about it in the pub. (Probably not.)
