Just been to brilliant panel talk, ‘It’s Just a Stage - Writing for Queer Performance’, @CoastIQlitfest. Loved Charlie Josephine’s hope for future:
“I would like shit-hot theatre made with kindness and curiosity, and for the buildings to take care of the humans making the art.”

When someone you’ve known since sixth-form college leaves his role in Channel 4 soap ‘Hollyoaks’, publishes a memoir the next day and includes a story involving you… @GregorTheFinn

On Arthur’s Seat for the first time since my first anniversary of coming out, in August 2000. I was with cast-mates. We were on the cusp of everything. Or is that just how I remember it? A friend from that play has since died. I hadn’t expected to be emotional. But here we are.

In Sam Wilson, Class 8C, @maybeulikeit have gifted us the spiritual heir to Adrian Mole for today. Writer-performer James Akka is utterly hilarious as the Power Point-presenting, wannabe Head Boy making his power grab in ‘Sorry (I Broke Your Arms and Legs)’ @pleasance.

Giddy up to ‘All The Fraudulent Horse Girls’. It’s a bubble-gum pink, feverishly funny and queer-as-fuck tale of one girl’s love of horses against all odds. This fantastically imaginative show is eq-fiiine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for my imaginary publication. @CharlesQuittner @ThePleasance

#lovebeyond by @RAWMaterialArts is a moving mood poem from the POV of a deaf man’s experience of dementia. Heartfelt performances are enhanced by tremendous, sometimes disorienting sound design and a set that mirrors the painful instability of memory.

Just seen the extraordinary #sawdustsymphony @edfringe . Think Beckett meets woodwork. Circus and clowning brimming with the joy of creation but also with a darker, eerier edge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I were officially reviewing. @ZOOvenues

Should you be lost in the middle years ... the true fieres appear: able, sound, equally good.’ (Jackie Kay)

5.I will never knowingly review shows involving friends. It always feels awkward and a negative review has a guaranteed readership.

This was lovely. ‘Operation Mincemeat’ won Best New Musical at this year’s Oliviers. Some view the theatre-maker/reviewer relationship as adversarial; actually, it’s a privilege to champion talent that, like here, we’re lucky enough to witness early in people’s careers.

I will never forget the work of @NatashaTripney, @stewartwpringle, @TomWicker (among others ofc) in their valiant efforts to get people to see our early stuff, it really did change the course of our lives- you made people come see us and it gave us confidence and hope x
