Also do catch @MarkRavenhill2's @OrangeTreeThtr & @TheRSC production of BEN AND IMO streaming Worldwide this week! orangetreetheatre.co.uk/what…

London is awash with quality drama at the moment. But I strongly recommend you take a break from the star-laden West End asking mega ££££ for tickets and visit Richmond’s tiny @OrangeTreeThtr. Under visionary Artistic Director Tom Littler late of Jermyn Street Theatre, this is a venue that punches well above its weight; it’s a veritable powerhouse of quality writing and performance. And it’s on a roll right now. 'Ben and Imo' by @MarkRavenhill2 is simply Glorious! A delicious evening that fed the mind and soul. Run to see it.

The headline says it all. @cj_dinenage is spot on in the Telegraph today. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Along with 1,000 musicians, today we're releasing an (almost) silent album protesting the UK government's plan to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies. It's an album of recordings of empty studios & performance spaces, representing the effect the govt's plans would have on musicians' livelihoods. It's called 'Is This What We Want?', and the track list spells out a simple message: "The British Government Must Not Legalise Music Theft To Benefit AI Companies". Incredibly grateful to the many, many musicians involved 🙌 All profits are going to @HelpMusicians. Please listen & share! open.spotify.com/album/1yUbR… (More links in 🧵⬇️)
