Deeply saddened to hear about the loss of this beautiful human, Julian Forsyth over the weekend. What a phenomenal talent he was; wise, kind, witty and generous. He will forever be our Old Basketmaker….
Here he is in 2022 at The Watermill Theatre, singing What Have They Done to My Children. He broke my heart every single time I heard him sing it. Farewell, Julian. You will always be Part of the Weave.
RIP ♥️
Today we have launched a petition with @TheWritersGuild & @Soc_of_Authors, urging the BBC to rethink plans to axe audio drama from BBC Radio 3.
Audio drama is a vital part of our arts and entertainment ecology. The BBC must protect it.

As 2024 draws to a close, I thought I'd take a look back at the last twelve months in theatre in my annual review post, talking about all the highs and the lows that were the last twelve months.
Have a read and let me know what you think.

I absolutely adored @TCCOBBmusical ❤️ A heartfelt, moving & breathtakingly beautiful piece of ensemble theatre with a wonderful folk-fused score that had me tearing up from the word go. It’s a must-see. Utterly wonderful. 👏👏
Earlier this year, the story broke on rogue acting agent #bodhitalent, trending as #BodhiGate via @DEADLINE and @the98percentpod. This morning the BBC have published and broadcast details of the investigation on their website and on Morning Live. Links below...
Happy First Birthday!
