I’m watching great British menu and its three female chefs and they are just so positive with each other and raising each other up and being positive about each other despite the competition. So often don’t see this! 🥲

So many "can you come and speak..." invitations fade into silence when mention that you do actually need to be paid for the work you do in order to survive

Lots of wise words in this interview with @sarahbrigham.bsky.social on the relevance of The Great Gatsby to current life, on politics & putting it on stage at @pitlochryft.bsky.social.

So many themes we could pick up on. I think @elizabethnewman.bsky.social’s adaptation was excellent.

What did we make of Pitlochry's take on American classic The Great Gatsby? Theatre reviewer David Pollock steps back into the 1920s - but this Gatsby isn't all glitzy and glamour.

What do we do about regional theatre reviewing? We need reviewers who understand and represent our audiences who will see work of all scales and go on a critical journey with us. Who will give the emerging company in the studio a chance as much as a big show in the main house.
