Off to a cracking start with this @edfringe.bsky.social today. Thanks @fbombtheatre.bsky.social for a beautiful show.

A new chapter. A new title.

While A Mother’s Song has served the early life of our show, Ballad Lines speaks more fully to the heart of the story, and to the songs and ancestral threads that connect its characters.

This week the Royal Court Theatre significantly expanded our offer to playwrights everywhere. And all you need to do is send us your play.

I've written a letter to playwrights to explain the changes and the thinking behind them.

“Very thought provoking piece that does what theatre should, remind us what it is to be human and be alive” - written audience comment from Nairn ✏️

We had such a lovely weekend at The Little Theatre in Nairn! Even the beautiful mural knew what LIFE was all about x

When I was at school I never thought I was going to spend at least some part of every working day doing maths.

Hell in a handcart.

This never gets old.

Lovely time at #BEAM2025. Met great people, some excellent quines, had great chats & thrilled to see new musical theatre in such good shape.

Thanks
@mercurymusicals.bsky.social @mtheatrenetwork.bsky.social for pulling it all together, and #BirminhamHippodrome for excellent hosting.

I witnessed this recently at a show with massive gaps in the front stalls and the rest relatively busy. It made me really feel for the performers.

How pretty is this? Here’s hoping I make the time to read it. #PersephoneBooks

It’s been quite a week. Rehearsals for LIFE by @mariamacdonell.bsky.social started. Plus, exciting things were happening in recording studios!

I LOVE a dinner on my own.

I don't think it gets enough attention just who all was involved in the chat and how high level they are.

SecDef Hegseth, NSA Waltz, VP Vance, CIA Director Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Rubio, and Treasury Secretary Bessent, among others. In total, there were 19 members involved in the chat.

A printer that automatically does double-sided??? My life is transformed.
