Delighted to have my short story Waterloo in this issue. It’s about shoes, bombs and strawberry bonbons… and The Wombles. Lurgan folk might recognise a few things. Ps it’s mostly a work of fiction.

@Quinnfreelance Love this. Was given it as a gift a long time ago and cherish it.

[Amanda Verlaque @AmandaVerlaque]

Totally agree @Quinnfreelance. We need to stop the rot of inequality on our stages. How will our careers flourish if we're not given the opportunities to showcase our talents? #theatre #WritingCommunity #stage #NorthernIreland

[Michael Quinn @Quinnfreelance]

Fascinating, vital weekend ahead @QUBelfast in the Front & Centre symposium on gender inequality on NI’s stages. Contributions from @MaggieCronin3 @CiaraLynnMurphy @AmandaVerlaque & @ArtsCouncilNI’s Caoileann Curry-Thomson. My @BritTheatreGuid news story: https://t.co/AymnR5dwHW

@womenwritersnet I love the national library in Paris and while my Belfast local isn't as grand it still does the trick!

🚨 @KenyaRedCross is linked to @thebomahotels, where an anti-LGBT+ conference is set to take place. This violates its humanitarian principles! Demand they cancel the event now. #Kenya https://t.co/gP7HAnF2oT

@womenwritersnet Enjoying this brilliant read by @Ciaraoops Dr Ciara O'Dowd about @AbbeyTheatre actresses Aideen O'Connor and Ria Mooney who were treading the boards and blazing a trail a century ago.
