Great review for Prairie Flower in the Camden New Journal. This is the last week you can catch the show! https://t.co/m3onquGIfg… @GatehouseLondon #fringe #theatre #london

It’s the last week of Prairie Flower at @GatehouseLondon. Make sure you catch this gripping tale of an old school London criminal, told by his own son https://t.co/zYYSj8yntu #upstairsatthegatehouse #prairieflowerplay #theatre #fringe #london

Tonight I’ll be filming #prairieflowerplay for @ThePoorSchool. Written by and starring @Ryan_simms14 it’s the story of his own father - a genuine East Eng gangster. Amazing stuff #theatre #London #filming @GatehouseLondon #highgate #eastend

Prairie Flower is the first play produced by the Poor School since we closed. Written by ex student Ryan Simms it tells a dark tale of underground London #prairieflowerplay @gatehouselondon https://t.co/zYYSj8yntu

Last week I hosted a talk on our last night at Pentonville Road before we closed as a drama school. There’s still lots for The Poor School charity to do. Watch the video here: https://t.co/xpsEC3Is3H

I was unable to attend last night but want to say a HUGE thank you! I would not of been able afford to go to drama school if it wasn’t for this place, you allowed me to follow my dreams ✨ Thank you for the laughs, tears, hard work, memories. Us working class actors thank you!! https://t.co/O9PzonHF8m

[The Poor School @ThePoorSchool]

Tonight is our final evening at 242 Pentonville Road. I’ll be giving a short talk and taking questions before we move on to our next chapter as a charity. Visit the website to find out more https://t.co/AtaqYvOXMt

[The Poor School @ThePoorSchool]

If you check the website - https://t.co/AtaqYvOXMt - you will see that the charity itself has not finished at all and I hope you will share my enthusiasm for what we may now achieve.

[The Poor School @ThePoorSchool]

I hope that the influence of the school continues to grow for the next 50 years or more; this is in the hands of the 800-odd graduates over all the years. I hope they go on to change people who will change the theatre.

It’s here! The final graduate showcase of The Poor School.

Bravi! Company of Lady Windermere's Fan, the final production at London's @ThePoorSchool which closed tonight after 32 enjoyable and productive years. The entire company, director and crew did Oscar Wilde proud. I enjoyed it so much. Such a privilege to be with you.
