Read this story till the end. During WWII some children were making diaries from concentration camps & occupied cities by nazis. History is repeating. This is a diary of Katya, a 16 years old girl from Mariupol, whose mother died in the basement👇😢
One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.
But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

@idgnicholson 2. “Can you tell me what the new contract is?” I asked.
“You don’t need to know that.” Answered the Agent!
The Life of Working in Children’s Theatre or Theatre for Young Audiences!!
@idgnicholson 1.When I was AD at Theatr Iolo, I offered a job to an actor through their agent and they accepted. A few weeks later the Agent told me that they wouldn’t now be accepting the contract. “Why?” I asked. “They’ve been offered a better job” agent answered.
@ShermanTheatre@neon_candle@CeriannKay Thoroughly enjoyed the dress rehearsal last night. Wonderful music, acting and an intriguing, original and moving story! Break a leg and have a brilliant run!🥳
As someone born & raised in Odessa for roughly 1/3 of my life, who spent the other 2/3 in America, I know that most people don’t know much about Ukraine - which I get, I have many blind spots, so I thought I’d tweet some little basic things in case it helps make it real 🧵
Very happy to read out nominations for this award last night. It's great that the Offies raise the profile of theatre at a time when we need all the help we can get. Well done @BoxLessTheatre@theBarnTheatre & all who make young audiences a focus of their work.

Almost 14 years after we performed a very early version of #OutOfTheBlue - our first ever show for babies here @kurtlizard & I are back in Darlington ready to fit up & perform a much-developed show later this week. It’s been to India, Australia & all over the UK in the interim 💙
