A new show is always a risk. Take this risk and get yourself to @BirminghamRep to see #BecomingNancy. It’s high energy, feel-good and funny. And well done @BirminghamRep - it feels like you’re back in the game with this one!

Our week in Switzerland has been going well. Before this, we had a day in Lenzburg, where Katrin from @TheatreAmateurs has focussed her research, after finding some wonderful archival traces of amateur theatre there.

Advice please folks. We have a conference in Venice next year on European amateur theatre. We’re keen to get the CFP out to relevant networks in Europe - any suggestions on where to send it, or organisations to approach? We’ve done STR, IFTR, EASTAP, ANTS, DramaHE.
