@emilyaboudetc @eleanortindall_ @StallyGibson @bushtheatre and the rest of the creative team working on #Tender. What a beautiful, raw and thrilling piece of theatre! Very moved & psyched to have seen its first preview. Go watch. Go watch! x

I’ve been asked by some ppl to explain what ‘women with DSD’ means, given the attacks these natal women are getting from Gender Critical extremists on this platform. DSD is a medical condition & not an excuse for hate comments. Ppl with DSD are in the news, due to the Olympics.

Are you rehearsing a #show at the moment for #fringe? If you’re looking for an #intimacydirector, DM me. I’m in training so willing to negotiate affordable fee/travel expenses for the right work. I want to support female & gender queer stories 🩷 #theatre

Are working-class creatives truly welcome in the arts?

There is a lot more this industry could be doing to make working-class creatives feel welcome – and it isn’t just tick-box schemes and small print, says writer Kat Rose-Martin (@KatMartin92) 👇 https://t.co/I2R6zbea4j

[Imogen Frances @_imogenfrances]

ACE does amazing, wonderful things! But, the arts industry is a battleground for working-class artists

For anyone who’s had multiple NO’s & particularly for those who feel like systems prevents them from getting a YES

This is just 1 account but I imagine it reflects many others

On Saturday I saw #TheSwell by @IsleyLynn @OrangeTreeThtr and it was heartbreakingingly gorgeous, funny, tender, uncomfortable & queer. Genuinely one of the finest pieces of writing I’ve seen this year. Beautifully directed by @HannahHauerKing. Thank you for making my heart sing.

[Imogen Frances @_imogenfrances]

@IndianaLown @TheRSC Thanks! I’ve dropped you an email about Dream! Hope to see you soon x

[Imogen Frances @_imogenfrances]

Find out my play made the Long List for @TheRSC #37PlaysProject!! Wahoo! Chuffed to bits! From 2,000 to 300. Found out in the same email it didn’t make the Short List. Swings and roundabouts, peaks and troughs #thelifeofacreative #newwriting

Let me just pick my gob up off the floor. No wonder the tax return always leaves me feeling a little 😳

Rebecca Frecknall's interview in @TheStage has prompted me to break out a thread I have sat on for a while. It breaks down what I think is the biggest obstacle in theatre but the least openly discussed... Pay

So here is the THEATRE PAY MATHS THREAD 🧵👇

@PhoebeEleanorW I can’t see a DM button on your profile. The play explores mental health, class, domestic abuse, healing & love.
Currently in the inbox of lots of playwright competitions. Developing an ACE bid for an R&D to get video footage of a read through & build relationships with venues

@PhoebeEleanorW ; (pause before continuing). Mel meets Jimmy after her dad has passed away, and they fall in love; hard. Fighting the grief & memories of the past, she learns that Jimmy has memories of his own. But, when they’re both committed to keeping secrets, will either of them get to heal?
