Here we go, the first trailer for Fledglings is out and about!

Meet Kelsey, lead for the aptly named 'Kelsey Bird Show'. She loves Chris Packham, sensible birding clothes and hanging out in her Grandad's old bird hide.

Massive, huge, gigantic thanks to @joannefisher for naming Fledglings in her top 10 shows of 2019!

2019 was the year I saw almost 40 shows, continued to review for @BroadwayWorldUK, and wrote my first paid piece for @WhatsOnStage.

I've rounded all this up into one blog post.

Here are my top 10 shows from the last 12 months!

Sadly #Fledglings had it's final night at @NSTheatres and so while the set is being taken down, the company of Fledglings is still celebrating how brilliantly fun this production has been!

Thank you to our audiences and supporters, keep your eyes peeled for our hopeful return!

A Saturday Afternoon #BirdFact for you all!

Sometimes, the birders are (dare we say it) more interesting than the birds! And Phoebe Snetsinger is perhaps one of the most interesting of those as she was the first person to ever see more than 8,000 bird species in the world!

Q: Has this play made you think differently about female lead stories?

'I love female lead stories, so it lived up to expectations and was really powerful!'

'It was really refreshing to have 2 female leads showing a genuine friendship'

#Fledglings @NSTheatres

[NST Lab Associates @MadebyLab]

Q: Did this play remind you of your own experiences growing up?

'Yes, it resonated with my experiences. Both the characters were so like people I knew at that age'

'Yes! The intensity of childhood and the simplicity AND complexity of emotion growing up'

#Fledglings @NSTheatres

[NST Lab Associates @MadebyLab]

Q: Do you think there was an overall theme or message to the piece?

'Friendship is difficult but magic, like birdwatching'

'A lot can happen between two people and the extremes that we all go to to keep friendships'

#Fledglings

[NST Lab Associates @MadebyLab]

Had some really lovely audience feedback from our first night of #Fledglings that we'll be sharing throughout the day! If you've got your tickets booked for tonight or tomorrow's show of Fledglings, make sure you let us know what you thought!

Massive thanks to @joannefisher for coming along to Fledglings last night and giving us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review!

'Fledglings is a delicate and touching exploration of loss, growth and identity, peppered with nostalgia, humour, teenage anxiety and the occasional feathered friend.'

I reviewed the latest show by @MadebyLab at @NSTheatres last night, and adored it.

@MadebyLab @NSTheatres If you're able to catch it before it goes - it's only playing tonight and tomorrow night in #Southampton - I really urge you to. It's a gorgeous little production and feels so nostalgic.

Day 5 of #BirdFacts and we're hitting you with some of the smallest birds you can find, Hummingbirds!

Did you know that they are so incredibly lightweight that the smallest type of hummingbird, the bee hummingbird, weighs less than a penny?!
