Not every Christmas show’s a panto. With outgoing @Alphabetti artistic director @Al_pritchard5's hit, Present - a play about a homeless man - being brought back to the stage @LiveTheatre, he tells @DavidJWhetstone how he came to write the piece

Another great review just in for #SaintMaud from @DavidJWhetstone @culturemag
'One character refers to “the edge of an ache” which beautifully describes a play dependent on atmosphere but above all else on three riveting performances.'

'It’s not often I’m moved to a full on cry, but such were the performances from @HawbagHaws, @AdamOfDonaldson & Judy Earl - & the nightmare situation they were facing - I'd pretty much forgotten they were pretending.' @samwonfor reviews Subterranea https://t.co/IkgAs0rgdH

Sit down and enjoy one of the greatest hits from @TheQTonline the repost for others to enjoy

[Brian Aitken💙 @BrianTheQT]

The first edition of The QT saw the introduction of Simon Rushworth’s Off The Record column,his nostalgic account of 30 years in journalism. It was a career he thought was in danger of ending after only a few months thanks to a tongue-in-cheek column upsetting one of his boyhood

Cultured. North East and @TheQTonline... a short 🧵

As you may have already seen/heard via social media and associated sources, we (@SamWonfor and @DavidJWhetstone) are sad to report that last week's edition of The QT will be the last.

[Sam Wonfor🌻 @samwonfor]

Edition #24 of @TheQTonline will be the last.
What can we say? We came, we saw and we wrote shedloads of great stories.
Very proud of what we created.
We never found time to celebrate the 1st edition… you can bet your ass we’ll be marking the last one, toasting a job well done.

[CULTURED. North East @culturemag]

Edition #23 of @TheQTonline is out and includes another tasty culture casserole.
We've threaded a few highlights together for you here 🧵
