Flier for Snoligoster and stickers

Wasn't entirely sure what I thought of Snoligoster @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social
but the more I sit with it the more I like it: a little strange, a little sad, a lot funny and serious beneath the jokes. do buy some stickers to support abortion access / queer & trans charities if you can afford it!

Creative FOMO and the freelance hustle Or why is everyone else doing better?

Alas I am still too scuppered to do a proper newsletter so please enjoy this piece from the archives that still feels depressingly relevant: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/creative-f...

'It's not just about lifts and ramps – it's about attitudes and biases' Is British theatre still failing disabled artists? Vici Wreford-Sinnott on 30 years of activism, punk, and fighting for space

Given the current ignoring of disabled voices, resharing this conversation I had with disabled activist and theatre maker Vici Wreford-Sinnott about urgently needed changes:

Since I've started receiving press releases for Newcastle and Edinburgh I'm sharing this again and also *begging* people not to make the title of your email something generic like "a new play!"

I've had so much response to this across my other platforms - especially from women who work in publishing - I'm sharing again.

Newcastle folk! I'm not well enough to use my 2 tickets for this and I'd hate to see them go to waste so if you want them DM me.

Thank you!

Newcastle IRL pals! I'm still recovering from surgery so can't make this show tomorrow night and have 2 tickets going. Message me if you fancy it (I don't need paying just don't want to waste them)

♥️

Yeah it's a slow burn in many ways but just so rich in so many ways, and a fascinating take on vampires and race and history (and the performances are great)

The Bench at Live Theatre Jeff Brown’s football themed play The Bench comes to Live this week as part of a wider tour, and I was lucky enough to get an invite to see it last night. [Image description: poster for The Bench] …

The Bench @livetheatre.bsky.social was a charming play about an unlikely tentative romance between two very different people: prodigalgeordie.blog/2025/06/12/t...

Steel Magnolias at The People’s Theatre The North East is blessed with a raft of great theatres, but, perhaps unusually, we also have a couple of genuinely lovely amateur spaces. I had my first trip to The Little Theatre in Gateshead ear…
