I am currently on the hunt for plays by Black and Asian Women/NB. Also plays by women who feel they are “white other” in Britain. Also plays in translation. If you are this / have these then get in touch. That’s not an invitation for unsolicited scripts - please solicit first.

Well, there's been a few fuckwits piping up with 'but there weren't black people in Britain in Victorian times!' about #yearoftherabbit . Wrong, there were (especially in the east end). Here's five black Victorians...

When the actress of colour has a few ‘nice scenes’ but they reveal nothing about her, and everything about her white co-stars storyline 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Tom Ryan @tomryanauthor]

What’s your film/tv pet peeve?

Mine is when every single secondary character appears front and centre at the graveside during another character’s burial, whether they were connected in the story or not.

It happens all the time and it drives me nuts!
