Theatre will never be accessible, no matter how many autism friendly screenings etc you have, until low income people can see it. You can’t take advantage of the subtitles or audio description that makes it accessible to you, if you can’t afford the ticket price.

@pisscarnation I cannot BELIEVE I missed you in Edinburgh! Hoping for another visit to Scotland soon because I would love to see this show. Are you releasing the playtext??

Laurie Ward, a writer & performer in @sohotheatre's new ‘52 Monologues for Young Transsexuals’, writes about how important it is for trans women to be given space to tell their stories. ✍️

“These moments of shared suffering... are profoundly unifying.”

@RJCrookshank Hi! Working class actor here, interested in looking at accessibility in the climate justice fight as we are so often left out of the conversation when we can't afford ethical products etc. I work with kids and would love to include youth voices too, as the inheritors of this mess

Tories have dismissed the suffering of LGBT+ refugees, dropped the ban on conversion therapy & want to restrict the rights of trans pupils in schools

Time to protest!

Say no to Tory culture wars against LGBTs

I’m interested to know what working class parents would be able to do for their child/children if they received an extra £5435 per child for up to 3 children on top of their salary? The same people getting this amount for their kids want you to believe there’s no money for yours.

Every Irish queer, woman and outcast is surely feeling Sinéad’s passing tonight.

Back in 2017 when I worked for TENI we got a call from her management asking could she donate her closet to us to as she was downsizing and wanted the clothes to go to trans folk in need.

An icon.

Amazing that you could look at these numbers and think the answer is "political indoctrination" rather than 20 years of stagnant wages; rapid cost of living rises; mortgages going through the roof; and any number of public service failings.

Hello everyone I have written a short film called WAITING. It's a queer magical realist story, and will be getting made this summer by an incredible team. It would mean the world if you could check it out and consider sharing or donating! Anything helps!
