Honestly, the most interesting conversations I’ve had in a long time.

Working class people will always work together to overcome the barriers put in place to stop them achieving what they were destined to achieve.

Thank you @factoryintl, paddy & Tanith for having me! X

I’M IN A PLAY!

Me & Joe Walsh went to Grimsby & came up with an idea for a play that can’t be performed in a theatre. (Really clever I know)

This show is the result of that inspiring conversation.

In 2022, my play ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ was unbelievably longlisted for @bruntwoodprize.

We’ve not really know what to do with it since.

But, seems like the stars align and we’re on!
