[Tim Crouch 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 @thistimcrouch]

My work's produced/tours internationally. It's studied/written about/reviewed widely. It's won some shit. There's a book coming out. I'm very grateful.

Yesterday the press were invited to see my new play.

Only @guardian (😍) came. So what's that about? Oh yeah.

Young people.

Super proud of @UoMDrama and @newwritingMCR alumi @Judi_Amato (MA playwriting) and @yanni_ngs (BA Drama) - get yourselves to Contact tomorrow/Sat if you can to see their work…

[Judi Writes @Judi_Amato]

I am so excited for this, it’s been such a joy to work with @yanni_ngs and Nicole 💝

If you are in Manchester tomorrow or Saturday please come over to see a whole evening of new writing at @ContactMcr 💕

@criminographer My heart aches for you. Thinking of you all xxx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@criminographer I am so, so sorry for your loss, and an holding you and your family in my thoughts. Sending all my love xxx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@DanRebellato Oh yes. It’s gorgeous, near perfect tv. Both laughs at and adores teenagers (and the ‘for the mammies’ ep is a delight). Exquisite on the interplay between life and its wider context (the season finales are each wonderful for this). And just so so damn funny.

Gorgeous thread which untangles one of my favourite theatre production anecdotes/descriptions (looking forward to reading the article!):

@libbathena Fantastic!! Congratulations xx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@Judi_Amato Ha! Glad to have helped a little! And you know you actually can still call to/on me (panicking is not a prerequisite- though if you ARE panicking then absolutely do reach out) - I love hearing from you x

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@MrLukowski Oh boy - I thought our 4-yr-old’s 9.30pm hold-our was testing…Good luck….(I was informed, as he finally fell asleep, that he plans not just to open his gifts “but also yours, mummy, the ones with the wrapping that I like”…)

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@OllyEmanuel @ArticulateVB @alicewoah I am so, so sorry to hear this. Sending love and condolences to all those close to him. Xx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@KirstySedgman Sending love and really hoping that the next few weeks can include some more rest and recuperation. And yes, agree about normalising talking about the struggles when it feels safe and comfortable enough to do so. Xx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]

@Judi_Amato Fantastic news! So, so excited to see where this one’s journey (and yours, of course) goes! Congratulations on all the creative work so far xx

[Rachel Clements @RachClements]
