Horrendous persecution of a brilliant film director continued by this shameless regime. Solidarity with the artists of Iran and their brave actions in the face of the most punitive censorship.

Staring in utter disgust yesterday (anniversary of Powell's rivers of blood speech) at StarmerLabour's ugly attempt to outflank Tories+ReformUK on nationalism+hateful rather than empathetic, human attitudes to refugees. I've seen that angled union jack style before...

Loved the challenge of making this play from such a complex real life premise. Love this generous, talented team! Thanks to Dante or Die for inviting me back for an even deeper dive after Odds On. Thanks Everything Theatre for 5* review.

Great Guardian article Kenan Malik re: #Defiance

Don't miss the brilliant #Defiance . I remember these times so vividly. Was teenager in Walthamstow when Parveen Khan and her 3 children were murdered in 1981. Chilling casual racism from police/public exposed here and brave, vital community resistance.

Really loved listening to this whilst ill in bed yesterday Jenny Sealey & Graeae Theatre. Bold and inspiring as I would have expected from the amazing Jenny Sealey but also very moving and unsurprisingly we share some favourite tunes. Catch it if you can. X

Congrats Polka Theatre and Helen Matravers ! A lovely accessible theatre to work and play. X

🧵1/4Yesterday was #LongCovid AwarenessDay . The absence of mainstream press coverage of the incredible work conducted by those with #LongCovid & highlighting the seriousness of the condition is disgusting. They should be utterly ashamed. #LongCovid is a mass disabling condition./

Wooooo! Happy publication day! Methuen Drama Beats & Elements Polka Theatre
#Teamcap

Romeo and Juliet! Book your tickets!!!

I can't go to this sadly but I hope some of you can. This UK backed genocide is not in our name and we must keep saying this - especially given all the BS from the right wing media. #StopTheGenocide

As a dramaturg, I'm so proud to have worked with three brilliant writers/makers Dante or Die creating this provocative and beautiful play from concept - and what a concept - through script & to rehearsal. It's extraordinary. Don't miss. danteordie.com/kiss-marry-kill
