⭐️A day to remember. Ignatius Sancho Café by Benugo in Greenwich Park opened by some geezer this morning. Thank you to everyone at The Royal Parks for making this happen. Delicious day in every way.⭐��#royalparks #Greenwich #IgnatiusSancho #BritishHistory #BlackHistory

Reflecting on how hard it is to make & tour theatre in the uk & how vital international collab is.

Not being eligible for this prog will have a big ripple effect across UK indie creatives livelihoods, practice, mobility, visibility, export & import opps.

You can tag in [email protected] my friend but it's still going to be a no.
