My home city has ambitions - to be honest I have not been convinced recently with 'years of culture' - a bit of a poisoned chalice - however Glasgow 1990 European City of Culture did change my life and I will always be grateful. So let's see what Jerez will do. I'm optimistic.

@alanlydd. Another trip down memory lane, and another brilliant production. A Clockwork Orange 1995.

#Orwell’s prescient views are largely applicable to today’s return of the totalitarian temptation and the appeal of sadistic Fuehrers. This👇🏼:
“people attracted by such a creed…tended to be neurotic or malignant types, fascinated by the spectacle of successful cruelty” #books

Continuing rehearsals of the Barrow version of Sinfonia a collaboration with @BarrowFull and @theforumbarrow. We are working on an intimate version in a newly created pop-up theatre because the main house has some technical problems. I think this version will be so beautiful

It's #FriendshipDay! 💜
Feeling socially connected is an important part of being human, and improves our health & well-being – no matter what our age.
Take the time to reach out to an older person around you. A simple gesture could make a big difference! #AddingLifeToYears
