Some of our glorious @The_Globe education practitioners, both veterans & total newbies, much needed gathering with Learning team colleagues, 1st since lockdown. In awe of their expertise & knowledge working with students & teachers day in day out. ❤️ the lot of them #freelancers
Oh and I did see the ‘subordinate’ thing... the resistance to centring communities and profound engagement is usually a fear of being irrelevant. #keeponkeepingon
@TheRSC I find myself so proud tonight of all that we are and all that we are endeavouring to be. #37Plays, the most ambitious playwriting invitation ever launched, David Edgar’s furiously timely #ChristmasCarol in rehearsal, the #Mischief festival reopening The Other Place 1/1
Twenty years on, Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads is still chillingly topical. This is a roaring production. @ChichesterFT

directing this revival of roy williams’ sublime play has been nothing short of a privilege and joy. that it is resonating so loudly with audiences confirms what an essential piece it is. come through to @ChichesterFT and join us in the king george pub (tix for a fiver for U30)
Remembering when some letters fell off a wall behind Theresa May & everyone was like ‘can she survive this humiliation’ & gosh those were innocent times
They’re cancelling art & humanities degrees at uni where students aren’t in skilled jobs in 6 months. They would have cancelled my drama degree at Hull on that basis. I wouldn’t have become a writer. I wouldn’t have written #Sherwood. Other writers wouldn’t have written theirs.
Our much loved friend and colleague Harry Gration died suddenly today. We are absolutely heartbroken to give you this news.
Tonight our hearts go out to Harry's wife Helen, their children and all of Harry's family and friends.

Fabulous afternoon @ChichesterFT watching #ourgeneration. So lovely to be back at the theatre with our students watching something that resonates so much
A reminder of when Boris Johnson said he was "furious" to see footage of staff joking about holding illegal parties in Downing Street.
All the while he knew he had attended them himself.
