Here is where we are now.
"a severe loss to the acting profession’.
@AnthonyHopkins was instrumental in making something for all actors.
Now it's been taken away from them.
We’ve always supported artists working in the theatre, but where are the actors in the building on a daily basis? The 1000s who attended classes? The reason for & heart of the building has been erased. Why ask us to save 1aTower St & then abandon us? It’s morally indefensible.
The UK riots have exposed a serious flaw in how British media execs think about diversity and onscreen representation. A flaw I have been writing about since at least 2012:
Positive portrayal of racially diverse individuals vs portrayal of racially diverse communities.
A thread…
My latest book - The Spy - is about Kamil infiltrating a Muslim terrorist group protesting what’s happening in Kashmir and his clash with the Hindu right wing government that forces him to choose sides - it is getting worse …. @KatieVEBrown https://t.co/RCcqB39Ii6
@MthrJacquiT @ajaychow@radiomukhers Thank so much. Really lovely to get this. Such a privilege bringing Kamil and Suren to life! Cannot wait for The Spy and Hunted to be out this year! Exciting times!
Ahmed Tobasi & Mustafa Sheta of @freedom_theatre West Bank have been taken by the Israeli army. This is happening to over 100 people in Jennin (many won't be released for years)
Demand their immediate release. International pressure works & the first few hours are crucial.
Have a listen to A Matter of Life and Death on Radio 4 at 3pm this afternoon. It’s fantastic! Loved being a part of it. Thanks @Bafflegabble@LoudClearVoices
