This time last year I was at the National theatre working on an amazing community Public Acts performance. Alumni from @RHULDrama were producers and choreographers for Public Acts - a joy to see them working professionally. Come at follow in their footsteps #clearing24

Please do read @DrCP_H’s wonderful book. It was a joy to review..
Writing books can be lonely. Reading reviews of them remains terrifying. Reviews like this make all of that worth it! This is exactly what I wanted Theatre in the Chocolate Factory to get across. Thank you to @HelenNicholson2 and Modern Drama. @CUP_LitPerform

Thai is excellent news. Congratulations to @lisanandy - looking forward to hearing your vision and plans for the arts and culture, and how they enhance lives.
From rugby league to Royal Opera, our cultural and sporting heritage runs through our towns, villages and cities and is one of our country’s greatest assets. It is an unbelievable privilege to take on the role of Secretary of State @DCMS . The hard work begins today.

The Little Theatre Guild @LTGtheatres run a lot of great youth theatres - please share this survey led by the wonderful @nedglasier to learn more: 👇
I remember a play that @company_three made a few years ago. On the penultimate night, one of the cast members came up to the director and the stage manager. He asked, "What's our call tomorrow?" They said 4pm. He said "Can you call us for 12?" And they were like - why?

Interesting that my MP @joymorrissey, who was one of seven conservatives who voted against a report which found that Boris Johnson had deliberately misled Parliament and allowed the Thames to be polluted, is pretending she isn’t a Tory.
Replying to @joymorrissey
I’m standing again to be your local champion in Parliament. Over the coming weeks I will be setting out my new plan for Beaconsfield, Marlow and the South Bucks villages. 2/2

These stats paint a pretty bleak picture of the decline of arts education over the last 13 years 😕
Today we release our #ReportCard2024, revealing the state of crisis in cultural education. There has been a systemic and persistent deprioritisation of the Expressive Arts within England's schools. Read the report: culturallearningalliance.org…

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW! The law is as follows. 1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you. 2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote. 3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day. electoralcommission.org.uk/v…
