Let’s get serious. I’m not ideologically anti nuclear, but this is not serious policy. Here’s why.

Reminded of that great piece in The Irish Times about the monarchy and the British Royal Family, in particular these three paragraphs

Tonight is the last ep of #TheNewsreader We got to explore the First Nations Bicentennial protests in season 2. Researching the show is normally a great way to track progress… but every word of every speech at those protests could be said today. Especially today. Shame on us.

I've taken to calling @DebraOswald1 "Dame Sybil", after Dame Sybil Thorndike, now Debra's decided to be a late-onset actor. Her show opened at @ensemblesydney last night, and is a barnstorming triumph.

[Debra Oswald @DebraOswald1]

Phew....

[Melissa Hoyer @melissahoyer]

Best night as writer extraordinaire @DebraOswald1 performed her riveting, emotional, clever, funny, simply amazing 1-woman show. Keeping an entire audience entertained w. just yourself on stage – priceless.
Go see it: ‘Is There Something Wrong With That Lady?’ @ensemblesydney 💥

[Debra Oswald @DebraOswald1]

All embarrassingly true...

Finally worked out what's been bugging me about the World Cup. Sat down to write and this came pouring out in about 45min.

Opinion: In Australia, we have already gone from ‘mini-rooms’ to ‘micro-rooms’  - IF Magazine

Great, informative, somewhat depressing piece on tv writing in Oz from the excellent ⁦@episode2480⁩ https://t.co/TP5IAYtjb0

Firstly- this is a photo from my cover shoot for InStyle magazine, not a still from HBO’s The Last Of Us. And I’m playing a person who meticulously planned & executed an overthrow of FEDRA. I am supposed to be SMART, ma’am. I don’t need to be muscly. That’s what henchmen are for

Hopefully White Lotus 2 might draw more people to see terrific Giri/Haji.

And speaking of getting a second go, I feel very lucky that my one-woman show/chat/cry-for-help is part of the Ensemble's 2023 season.

MR BAILEY’S MINDER https://t.co/171bhQNkBD 19 years after its first production, 'Mr Bailey's Minder' will be back on stage at Ensemble in 2023. Australian plays aren't revived often, so this old playwright is thrilled. And thrilled to have the spectacular John Gaden playing Leo
