@DaveyCumming I’d recommend reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron or/and The Creative Act by Rick Rubin.

🌟Best Actor (Andrew Scott for Vanya)
🌟Best Play (James Graham for Dear England)
🌟Best Director (Rupert Goold for Dear England)

[James Graham @mrJamesGraham]

Last night, we think (we THINK) we brought the first play to the stage of this historic theatre (traditionally musicals) since the end of the Second World War. So … that’s exciting! Or… terrifying…! But… something! @NationalTheatre #DearEngland

[Dan Balfour @DBalfour_Sound]

🔥🔥🙌🙌 Such an exciting appointment. @PentabusTheatre is the future of theatre making x

@idgnicholson @puppetsoup !!

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Saw #DearEngland at @NationalTheatre last night and it’s a triumph. A thoughtful, moving and often hilarious story of @England’s revival under Southgate. Great to meet the brilliant cast & playwright, James Graham after. And well played @ahungrycentaur on nailing east mids accent.

[Maya @LesMisMcFly4]

@DBalfour_Sound just wanted to say how phenomenal your sound design was in Dear England!!! Felt like I was at football in the best way in the big moments, and super delicately and emotionally carried in the quieter ones.
