Glad to catch the last performance of The Angry Brigade @53two @UP_ERE @productions_her over the weekend. Director Oli Hurst captures the angsty, febrile energy of a menacing political movement that fragments into something increasingly strange and crazed, with a terrific cast

[Oliver Hurst @oli_hurst99]

@matt_barton_ @theatremagazine Very kind words - thanks Matt!

[Matt Barton @matt_barton_]

My @theatremagazine rec for May + spotlight on Manchester’s most promising director @oli_hurst99 where I thrust a probably unfair amount of pressure on his shoulders, ahead of his revival of Mojo later this month

Fully aware absolutely no one has asked for this and who am I to say what makes good or bad theatre but ah well, I’ve had a baileys, it’s Christmas and I’ve managed to see 65 (😳😳😳) shows this year, so here’s my favourite 16 (in alphabetical order).
