Please help us with this really important bit of research. Any information you give us is confidential but will help us understand the scale of the problem and tackle it.

Please share.

Thanks! The day it happened was tech day and I feel like I made everyone’s day quite a lot longer

Wait though, wait a sec - I was hungry one time and I had two sandwiches and then spent the next three hours regretting it and complaining about it to everyone in the building. It was too much! My input would be to have one and a half, just in case, and save the last half till later x

#AUDIBLE TO ROLL OUT END TO END AI VOICE NARRATION ON THEIR AUDIOBOOK CONTENT.

Something is Missing We’ve launched a powerful parody film trailer, ‘Something is Missing’, to shine a spotlight on pancreatic cancer and the need for early detection.

Jon Holmes, Adam Parry and I made this video for Pancreatic Cancer UK… www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/news-and-blo...

I got my ticket for £15 as a Salford resident and expected it to sell out but like you say the stalls were half empty. Weird for the audience, weirder for the cast. Great show, disastrous pricing.

🚨 URGENT - SOLIDARITY NEEDED 🚨

Tell Cambridge Shakespeare Festival and its director to end wage theft, and respect our members and professional performers by complying with employment law.

We were at #BAFTAGamesAwards tonight calling on bosses to improve pay & conditions for video game performers through union agreements!

While it’s great to celebrate successes, bosses can’t ignore the poor pay & practices faced by the workforce #EquityGameOn

This is a great point! Once it’s on BBC Sounds we can just play them back to back, but to have inflexible durations is definitely limiting.

Turns out you CAN make a difference when big companies make ridiculous decisions! What a lovely day!

Wow! Now you know you’ve really made it 😁

One day I hope that I too can experience the blissful, radiant joy of these two people using Manchester public transport’s new tap and go system

Oooo that’s nice!

We've had some great submissions so far! But we're in desperate need of finding our Nora!

Email us at peripeteiatheatre@outlook.com if you fit the bill

Imagine if Coronation Street was cancelled?!

That's how lots of Scots (half a million per episode to be fair) feel about River City's cancellation. Let's help them by signing this petition to reverse the cut and Save River City!
