Tom Ratcliffe’s VELVET at Above the Stag Theatre is a stunning, important theatre. Writing and performance is spectacular - thanks @aaroncawte for the last minute tickets ♥️

[Tom Ratcliffe @TomRatcliffe15]

I cannot believe I’ve done over 60 shows of VELVET. I can’t thank everyone involved enough for their support over the last few years ❤️❤️

We finish @abovethestag this Sunday and it’d be so lovely to see some friendly faces in this last week!

#Theatre @VELVETtheplay @abovethestag. The casting couch in the age of social media. How far would/should you go to land your first big acting break? And how will this impact your self-esteem and mental health? Sharp writing, expertly performed and delivered. @TomRatcliffe15

[David Guest @RevWhoGuest]

What would you do to achieve success? @VELVETtheplay asks the question from a gay male perspective @abovethestag in the wake of #MeToo @TomRatcliffe15 writes & performs this incisive monologue which must resonate with any young actor yearning for that elusive life-changing role.
