Strategy Director at Good. Horse botherer elsewhere. Opinions are from the latter.

@karaswisher I loved Pivot with your boy. It’s a great moment when you listen to your baby and they become a person. Not you need me, but I was so proud for you as I am for me with my son. Take care.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

Waving.

@davykane Thanks, Mr Kane. That’s kind of you to say. I hope you’re in good form and that life’s treating you well. Take care, maybe get to see you at some point.

A five day tech for The Trick, holding the house lights for 47secs for Good, doing an impromptu re-light for The Real Wurld, making lasers up for Panto, laughing our heads off during plotting, making me think further in every show, trusting me when he didn't have to, sitting in the bar talking about accents and acceptance, opening the big windows for Macbeth, being stunned at London Dumbstruck, putting his hand on my face while I was talking and leaving it there for ages, cutting his leg hair during rehearsals, admitting being wrong no matter the consequence, listening, putting up with my immaturity and, above all, being kind.

Fuck, it's a sad day. But thank you for all this and more.

[TRON THEATRE @TronTheatre]

The Tron is deeply saddened by the announcement of Michael Boyd’s death.

In 1986, Michael began a decade-long tenure as Artistic Director of the Tron Theatre, establishing the fledgling theatre company as a powerhouse of both new writing & dynamic productions of classic texts.

@forbesmasson Thank you Forbes, this means the world. I’ve been thinking of you a lot, you’re very much part of all these wonderful memories and I’m grateful to you for all that you’ve given me. x

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

@tompiperdesign Thanks, Tom. That last page. It’s lovely to hear from you and hope that life is treating you well. Hopefully I get the opportunity to buy you a pint one day.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

@dimitri16 Also, miss you.

At the end we put the house lights on when Halder was about to do head off to the camps, the house lights came up in a very direct confrontation. You couldn’t hide, it was meant to be an uncomfortable moment for the audience. We held the lights out with just the actor looking at everyone. I held it for 47s and then David came and banged on the window telling me to go to black. I was worried that I’d gone too far, I mean it was awful, people started clapping and then it faded out, it was awful. I talked to Michael about it, to make sure he knew and if he had any notes. He gleefully loved it and wished I held it 10s longer.

It feels like this financial crisis has just appeared in the last couple of months. Is there any good articles that outline how we got into this mess?

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

@MrEastcoasting Thank you, hope that you’re all well too. I was thinking of you the other night as I passed by that pub. Take care.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

It’s my birthday today and this guy’s reminded me that the days are long but the years are short. Take care along the way.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

Woke. Every time you see or hear the word, replace it with ‘kindness’. That’s where it was, not the condescending take we see now. Be kind.

I love you all, you woke bastards.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

@gibbzer I paid for giggles. Im hoping the blue check can help me promote kindness. £7 for kindness promotion. We’ll see. BTW, I know it’s been years, but I’d love to see you.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

So, went to Tesco with me blue check. Meant nothing to them. I’m sure my local Wetherspoons will be different.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

@zoescaman Zoe, I don’t know if I get you sometimes, and I love following you because of that. You make me think. But you have utterly nailed this. I think we’d have a good night out.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

So. I got a check mark. For £7 a month l’m maybe a more handsome boy? With great power that I pay for comes great responsibility. It will drive every tweet I now create.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

So I bought myself some blue Twitter. What do I do with this £7’s worth of free speech? Let’s see what I do in a month.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

Once upon a time a whisper list would be a plot device for a Doctor Who big bad.

[Stewart Steel @steelso]

This is all we need.

Love to all
