Voting aside, this was a very moving, well crafted piece of work. My accomplice for the evening was a Chelsea fan- and he was moved to tears. Bravo and good luck. 🤞

Lara stood behind her wheelchair holding the handles. Caption: “I thought if I called myself a ‘disabled actor’ people wouldn’t want to work with me. But it’s important, it’s part of my identity.” Lara Wilson, actor/director
Lara on stage with finger raised pointing dynamically at another actor. Caption: “Leeds Conservatoire and especially Erin Carter, who is head of drama there, encouraged me to embrace having a wheelchair and to use it as a creative tool...That was a liberating moment for me and boosted my self-belief.”
Lara sat in a chair giving feebback to an actor sat opposite with script in hand. Caption: “We need to show young people, no matter who they are or what their background, that they can have a career in the arts.”
New on the blog, #disabled actor and director Lara Wilson on finding confidence in her artistic identity, and the importance of the arts giving "a voice to people who aren’t normally seen."

Josh was many things - a talented footballer who came through the Leeds United academy, as well as a fashion designer, writer, and painter, to name just a few. It's an honour to be a small part in celebrating him❤️

Jim’s never told his story to anyone before, but tonight he’s going to tell it to you…
We've add a new date for The Life and Soul performance as part of the exhibition celebrating the life of Joshua Van Leader!
Book Here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/jvl-inspir...
A man stands with his fists clenched over his face in anguish. Behind him is a partially empty pint of beer and a Leeds United scarf.
Jim’s always been a character, just like his Dad, and spends most of his life between the bookies, the pub and Elland Road.
He’s always had this lingering feeling though that he doesn’t quite fit into this world, that there’s something different about him, something wrong…
Just acquiring data...

I’ve never seen @reecedinsdale.bsky.social in anything I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed and this is no exception. Fabulous performance. 💛💙

So it resonated with us on a lot of levels. Everyone involved should be very proud! Really nice to chat with @deansmith7.bsky.social after too.

Me & @boogalord.bsky.social watched Through it All Together today. What a fantastic show.
Such a well written, moving story.
Great performance by the whole cast. We laughed & cried.
Lovely to see @reecedinsdale.bsky.social & some of the cast after the show.

Brilliant email from Rachel at #LeedsPlayhouse just now inviting attendees of tonight's press night of #ThroughItAllTogether by @cpoconnor87.bsky.social to wear football tops (specifically @leedsunited.com) I hope lots of people take up the offer. I'd love to see a lot more cross-culture in theatre.

I promise this isn't about money or selfishness. Here's a bit about how I view those topics: chris-oconnor.co.uk/altruism/
Hope this clears it up a bit - promise I've had the best intentions with this piece. Also my family hail from Roscommon/Mayo btw so am there regularly!
I couldn't write about that period and not have him as a small part of it. It is though, in a small way, a thank you to him and he will be invited as he was a fan of the Leeds Playhouse and wrote to them about the important work they do for the 'soul of Leeds' and visited with his family.
