'A rare and welcome occasion' - @lyngardner in a lovely article for @TheStage on our first @AmTheatreFest and the importance of passionate and dedicated amateur groups to professional theatre. https://t.co/upb5sYGvlA

It was so great to be joined by NHB authors Simon Callow, Mike Bartlett, @AmandaPlays and Jez Butterworth at @AmTheatreFest last Saturday.

All four gave fascinating talks on their work and the pursuit of making great theatre. #AmateurTheatreFest

@AmTheatreFest Thanks to all for am extraordinary day! The Shakespeare workshop with Oliver Ford Davies was my highlight, the rest of the day was a blur of excellence!

The directors job is to help the actors to be simple and true and to be inside the moment rather than ACTING. Stephen Unwin @AmTheatreFest @NHBperforming

Fantastic workshop by Stephen Unwin on directing plays. Fascinating, enlightening and reassuring! @AmTheatreFest

[Am drama researchers @amateurdrama]

Listening to Mike Bartlett @AmTheatreFest - quoting @DanRebellato saying his plays are ‘optimistic’.
