With the announcement of @arcstockton 's Spring programme, news of my @ace_national @ace_thenorth award for a national tour of my show #UNRULY - I'm thrilled. A disabled women-led team telling a story about female friendship, activism & disability rights https://t.co/F7UrzjeaiK

There really is more LOVE than hate. We are disgusted by the hate & racism this week. Members of my family & lots of our friends are changing plans through fears for their safety. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU.

I’m so pleased to say that Hen Night - the short drama inspired by my book, Crippled - will be screened at the Southbank Centre!

Directed by @viciws, it tells the story of a young woman’s fight for social care.

7th and 8th September. More info here: https://t.co/WrZEHlwbxs

Has disability completely dropped off everyone's agenda in the arts...asking for 25% of the population.

Groundhog day.

Loved #TheBounds by @stewartwpringle dir @JackMcNamara81 - stunning performances, fab set, beautiful writing...but that dialogue. That script. Masterclass. Totally deserved cheers at the end. Me & beloved sat chatting about it in car for an hour before braving the London drive!

Theatre gang/programmers - some incredible feedback for my show #UNRULY touring in spring. Thrilling to have powerhouses @BexBowsher /director & @beccyowen /composer & live musician. It's something else. Contact for info pack & make my dreams come true https://t.co/H5eLPeCIpI

Needed a bit of a theatre/confidence reboot and temporary change of scene. Saw our playscripts in the National Theatre, lovely chats & food. Loads going on. Then to Royal Court (1st time since black spot era) for #TheBounds. Personal writing manifesto boost and off we go.

Recently I've been thinking about how much incredible disabled-led theatre get's made but then doesn't get decent opportunities to tour or get in front of audiences. @viciws is an amazing artist so if you're a programmer you need to snap this show up!!!
