Just leaving Beer. I'm I'm on BBC Radio Devon at around 10.40am this morning to talk about the South West Coast Path and the walk so far. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Well this Q&A is going to take a different tone now!

Today I made the midway marker for the South West Coast Path. 315 miles down, 315 miles to go. It's a mammoth journey but I'm taking it one day at a time, even though some days are more overwhelming than others. Thank you to everyone who has supported me & donated.

I have the best pals! I'm walking 630 miles for charity but I got injured. I'm inching on, albeit slower than I'd hoped. About 100 miles in, 530 to go!

In the guide book it says the South West Coast Path is the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest 4 times. When I read that I put the book down & wondered what on earth I'm doing! I am also aware The Salt Path is out soon & can't wait to watch it when I'm back.

I'm walking for @Hoardingukhelp who were so supportive when I presented my play Breathless about hoarding & @rightsofwomencharity who provide frontline legal advice to those experiencing abuse & violence. If you want to donate: www.justgiving.com/page/laura-h...

In March 2020 I'd planned to hike the South West Coast Path; the idea of carrying everything I needed in one bag & moving forwards every day was appealing to me. The pandemic put that on hold, but today I'm heading to the start point to start the 630 mile walk on my own.

We have our last two shows for Lynn Faces today @newdiorama.bsky.social at 3pm & 7.30pm & it's pay what you can afford. Please come along if you're free or share with anyone who might be willing to take a punt on an "unhinged" show: newdiorama.com

Thank you so much 💚

L-R: Laura Horton (Lynn Faces Playwright), Estelle Du Boulay (Director of Rights of Women), Hannana Siddiqui (Head of Policy, Campaigns and Research at Southall Black Sisters), and Madeleine MacMahon (Actress).

Yesterday, we spoke at a panel for the play Lynn Faces which powerfully engages with themes of coercive control.

Our Head of Policy Hannana Siddiqui discussed the structural barriers to support for Black, minoritised & migrant women, and the value of specialist community-based 'by & for' services.

What an end to an incredibly special week Theatre Royal Plymouth. We played to a sold out crowd last night & it was epic. I'm delighted to have been asked to do BBC Woman's Hour tomorrow, a personal dream come true for me before we open @newdiorama.bsky.social for the next leg of the tour.

I'm delighted that Lynn Faces is a pick in the @theguardian.com today.

We've honestly had the most wonderful week in Plymouth, audiences have been beautiful.

We open @newdiorama.bsky.social on Tuesday for two weeks and I cannot wait to have some time in London to hang out.

We're sold out tonight! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Lynn Faces. I've been so moved by the responses and I've had an absolute ball this week! Plymouth audiences are incredible.

Plymouth friends I open my play Lynn Faces Theatre Royal tonight.
The play is a real-time punk gig inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge. No knowledge of Partridge necessary! There are still tickets left & I'd love a sell out crowd if we can. theatreroyal.com/whats-on/lyn...
