We had an amazing performance today of our #forumtheatre play The Truth about Ageing. Great debate about how ageism manifests itself and how we can challenge it. Thank you to @ootbdrillhall and @MH_arts

The Polis have finally caught up with our director @mslizstrange - You're nicked! Today at @ootbdrillhall we brought retired police officer Gerard McEwan (from Edinburgh Lothian and Borders Police Hostirical Society) in for questioning. Absolutely loved hearing his many stories.
