This evening's pictures have all be taken by the multi-talented and downright lovely @aslamhusain @aslamhphoto. He does headshots, people.

There was so much to process + think about after Day 2 @NationalTheatre that everybody's legs stopped working. Wine/beer proved restorative.

.@Emma_J_Bentley 's attempts at starting a Conga didn't go too well. @katrinaallen was right behind her though (figuratively and literally)

[The Poel Event @PoelEvent]

.@HousemanVoice makes sure @CharlottieG's head doesn't pop off due to all the new exercises and advice.

[The Poel Event @PoelEvent]

.@Matthew_Munden addresses a small, but supportive, audience.We're sure the next time he's on stage @NationalTheatre,it will be a full house
