@Mitchell_Nat Can't wait for the rest of the series - it's the kind of show that makes you work harder and strive to be better, every moment shines.

Perfect day trip to see #FirstTouch @NottmPlayhouse - couldn’t be prouder of @_NPrice_

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

Thanks to @_NPrice_ I got to see the 1st ep of #BBCOutlaws @wshed premiere last night - very funny, fantastic casting, & great to see my adoptive city Bristol not just as a backdrop but another character in the show. Can’t wait to see more (especially @_NPrice_’s ep in S2!)

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

Blitzed through @Mitchell_Nat’s & @VickieDonoghue’s fantastic series The Piper. Tense, visceral and spooky as hell - a massive achievement🌟 https://t.co/yeB9D7T3dV

Remembering my boyfriend's most horrifying Halloween costume #piggate

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

I was meant to be celebrating my wedding today with all my friends and family. On the bright side, it’s grey and drizzling, so maybe next year we’ll have better luck���Here’s to a safer (and hopefully sunnier) 2021☀️🌈

Can't stop watching this slow-mo video of Colston's statue being thrown in the harbour. A great day for Bristol.

A selection of beautiful illustrated cards from @AndreaKett - bought these to send out for people’s birthdays but might need to keep a couple for myself...

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

Wanted to watch it at a sensible pace but ended up bingeing @KayDLlew’s series #InMySkin because it’s so bloody brilliant - on iplayer now for those who haven’t caught it already!

Final curtain call of #TheGift @stratfordeast - what a fab production of such a thought provoking play&funny play - the packed audience was loving it! So proud of @JaniceOkoh

@Mitchell_Nat with my copy of #GermFreeAdolescent (modelling her ‘Dolly Parton goes skydiving’ jumpsuit) - she’s worked so hard to get this play published&it’s London run. Very proud of her tonight.

I’ve reached the Halloween party scene in my script bang on schedule. My main character has obviously gone as Nancy from The Craft.

Lovely seeing @SholaAmoo in Bristol promoting his beautiful film #TheLastTreeFilm at a sold out preview @wshed - on general release from Sept 27th. Don’t miss!

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

@EddieRobson @Sonic_Screwup @olliemasters @spayne128 @bellaswoosh And then Bafta having to change their rules to say it didn’t matter Killing Eve was broadcast in the US before the UK, so it could be nominated for/win all the awards

[Laura Poliakoff @LauraPoliakoff]

This weekend I got to watch 2 friends’ plays I’d read&loved finally brought to life on stage. Kenny Emson’s #RustThePlay @bushtheatre (don’t miss - on until July 27th), & filled with pride to see Benjamin Kuffuor’s fantastic @NTConnections play AGELESS on stage @NationalTheatre
