MY MOTHER’S FUNERAL @painesplough is a complex, introspective piece of theatre about commodification of trauma and the ways in which theatre so often forces its creatives to compromise their values in order to survive and succeed. Powerful staging and clever storytelling.
bit of a mad week getting @annieihateyou up @ZOOvenues#edfringe (the word ambitious has been used a lot, with varying degrees of optimism…) BUT we did it and I’m incredibly proud of the show and the beautiful team behind it! (please go see it I promise it’s brilliant!!)
WHY I STUCK A FLARE UP MY ARSE FOR ENGLAND @FollowTheCow@bumflareplay is a gem of a solo performance by Alex Hill. Interrogates football culture and men’s mental health in a way that is shocking and challenging and yet accessible to a wide audience through its outrageous comedy.
"In 20 years’ time, we don’t want to be looking back asking where all the new British plays are. So, we are intentionally refocusing our support on writers; developing new voices for the stage ." @BristolOldVic Nancy Medina announcing 5 yr commitment to new writing. Rejoice!
It's #DearYoungMonster press night tonight!
