@sargent65 Great - message me when you’re back

[Helen Nicholson @HelenNicholson2]

@sargent65 Thank you- that’s so kind. It wasn’t recorded, and I didn’t write it down (listening to academics reading out stuff is so dull!) but happy to have a chat (I’d welcome your insights!).

@mpmwilko @Everymanchelt Wonderful- so pleased to hear it. I’m just leading an AHRC grant on the value of theatres to their local communities- case study includes coastal towns. Happy to talk more at any time (I’m a former colleague of the brilliant Al Pinkerton MP).

@mjhowcroft @UKRI_News Congratulations, @mjhowcroft - very well deserved. Can’t wait to see what you do!

[Helen Nicholson @HelenNicholson2]

Please do read @DrCP_H’s wonderful book. It was a joy to review..

[Professor Catherine Hindson @DrCP_H]

Writing books can be lonely. Reading reviews of them remains terrifying. Reviews like this make all of that worth it! This is exactly what I wanted Theatre in the Chocolate Factory to get across. Thank you to @HelenNicholson2 and Modern Drama. @CUP_LitPerform

[Helen Nicholson @HelenNicholson2]

Thai is excellent news. Congratulations to @lisanandy - looking forward to hearing your vision and plans for the arts and culture, and how they enhance lives.

From rugby league to Royal Opera, our cultural and sporting heritage runs through our towns, villages and cities and is one of our country’s greatest assets.
