These aren’t just any Mothers Day daffodils… these are ⁦@marksandspencer⁩ Mothers Day daffodils (and as dead as the mother that they were bought to celebrate). #M&S #chiswick #sad #mothersday #flowers #wasteofmoney

Delightful evening seeing #TheRailwayChildren @TheatreAtTabard A nicely traditional adaptation, excellently staged and beautifully performed by a talented cast with great clarity. A fantastic alternative to pantomime for a festive theatre treat. Go see! https://t.co/npuYj3OR5d

Lovely to celebrate the success of @TheatreAtTabard and Simon & Sarah Reilly, who have worked tirelessly to reinvent the #theatre, and won the #PubTheatreOfTheYear #Award So well deserved! Thanks to @TorinDouglas for initiating such a great gathering. @ChiswickW4 @thechiswickcal

Delighted to have written an article about #showcases in #ActorsAndPerformersYearbook 2026, for @MethuenDrama I last contributed to the first ever edition of the Yearbook in 2005, edited by the late #SimonDunmore It’s grown a bit since then! #performingarts #acting #theatre #TV

Great item about #understudy and #swings in #FiddlerOnTheRoof at @BarbicanCentre on @BBCLondonNews tonight. The unsung heroes of our industry. @WEUnderstudies @OpenAirTheatre #theatre #westendtheatre #musical #musicaltheatre #London

Sad to hear that the actor, Prentis Hancock, has died at the age of 83. He was best known for #Space1999 and also appeared in the play, My Blue Heaven, the first show ever to be produced at @TheatreAtTabard 40 years ago. RIP Sir. @ChiswickW4 @TheChiswickCal @chiswickbuzz

Had two fantastic Friday afternoons putting the students of @TheLSMT through their audition paces. The two groups were exceptionally talented, receptive & a joy to work with, with great senses of humour (useful in this industry!) Here’s to amazing futures for them all! #lsmtlove

Had an utterly delightful evening seeing The Mikado @TheatreAtTabard. A wonderful production, staged, performed and sung with great clarity and humour by a 9 strong cast (and were they strong!) congrats to everyone Well worth seeing and highly recommended https://t.co/AptlqqncXY

Interesting @OlivierAwards tonight. Congratulations to all winners and nominees and special thanks to @LaytonWilliams for being the only televised winner to thank casting. The next best thing to an actual #Olivier #casting #award for #theatre @SOLTnews @CDGNews #westend #theatre

Was really looking forward to seeing The Snow Queen @TheatreAtTabard this afternoon, having heard glowing reports, but the show was cancelled due to cast illness ☹️ Every good wish for their recovery and hope the run finishes on a high tomorrow.

[Richard Evans CDG @auditionsguide]

@marksandspencer Thanks Chris. I’d be interested to know the reason why!

[Richard Evans CDG @auditionsguide]

Feeling bewildered at @marksandspencer Why oh why is the thick sliced white bread 10p more expensive than the medium sliced white bread, which has more slices? #remarksable #DontUnderstand #thickism

I, of course, meant more twists than FUSILLI pasta, as that one is twisted!

[Richard Evans CDG @auditionsguide]

Fantastic evening @TheatreAtTabard seeing #TheBusinessOfMurder, a brilliantly performed, staged & crafted #play by #RichardHarris, with more twists than a bowl of penne pasta and great laughs. Even better than the #WestEnd original in the 80s. Fab! Go see! https://t.co/qBopgSZ3AI

@TurbineTheatre So proud of you all and everything you have achieved. They say all good things must come to an end, but here’s to an amazing future, and perhaps The Turbine becoming ‘The Other Phoenix’ and rising again?! Thank you all!

Absolutely delighted that #WestEnd #producer& #theatreowner Nica Burns, of @NimaxTheatres has been honoured with a #CBE in the #kingsbirthday #honourslist for services to #theatre. She was the voice of the industry during #Covid_19 and is an amazing advocate. So well deserved!

[Richard Evans CDG @auditionsguide]

@davidsoho1 What a fantastic show it was! Brilliant pre & post curtain speeches too, which really made us all feel part of something special. Huge congrats to you & everyone involved (especially Isobel, the Peggy Sawyer of her own show) and with Brief Encounter too. Here’s to great success!

[Richard Evans CDG @auditionsguide]

@BelfieldWard Huge congrats Phil, Mark et al! It seems like only yesterday.
