Equity has raised concerns about the casting process for an upcoming production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in Concert, which casts a non-disabled performer in the title role, Quasimodo, arguably one of the most recognisable characters with a disability.
The union has been having positive engagement with Jack Maple Productions about this, highlighting the structural discrimination faced by disabled artists, ahead of the show’s opening at the Prince Edward Theatre in London this weekend.

@Ruby_Actor If you’re heading up to Edinburgh Fringe you guys should come and see Macbeth the Musical.
It’s an absolute hoot and certainly tells the story. Obviously that will be post exams but a fun way to celebrate finishing them. 😂
Good Luck Ruby. x
A few female friends have asked me recently about the things I’m using to support perimenopause.
Collagen was highly recommended to me & I’ve been using one from WillPowders.
It certainly feels like it’s made a difference. 🙌🏼💪🏼

@the98percentpod Quite. It’s easy to forget to live in the real world & embrace the beauty of it. I’ve even noticed myself walking in the forest glancing at my socials ‘just incase’ I miss something. 😩 Trying to be much more mindful and ditching some apps & socials instead of adding to them. 🙌🏼
@the98percentpod Absolutely. Trying to ‘look busy’ and have a social media presence on just one platform is a full time job. Trying to juggle all these platforms, hustle for jobs, keep money coming in, raise a family, keep fit, have good mental health …it’s exhausting!
Do you remember when it was quite normal for children to go home from school for their lunch? (Some teachers would go home too!)
A short walk or bike ride, lunch with a parent or two and maybe even a bit of TV before the afternoon session.
I think the respite was very healthy.
@rebeccawwrites Fingers crossed hon. And if you want to send it to my agent for any supporting roles, I’ve got a pretty clear diary next year. 😝
No but seriously, well done lady. 🫶🏼🙌🏼
Equity now has a new rep for reports on agents, good news imo after the total mishandling of Bodhi reports over the years.
If you have anything to report on an agent/agency - particularly any who may have been somewhat exposed this year - please email [email protected]
@RussEABrown@r_hendrie I only popped in the first bit of info, more to investigate than anything else ... so it was just the basics of email, DOB, phone number etc - However I've now just had a fraudulent payment that's been taken from my bank through Paypal ... could be a coincidence but maybe not!
The nightmare rumbles on with the fake site. We managed to take the last one down but it's popped back up as rae-casting .co.uk. I would never ask you for money - please do not engage with these scammers.
Hi All - this is NOT my site. Please don't engage with this - we are working to have it taken down. Do not share any details with this site or pay for anything. Please share far and wide.
