.@wilshaw3: "If your life is not being reflected in stories, in theatre and on tv and radio you feel alone, and that is isolating. Theatre is there for everyone, a way to escape, a way to belong, a way to be intrigued."

It has been a privilege to be part of these vital conversations, which as @wilshaw3 so rightly pointed out, must go beyond words now and into action. Feeling galvanised, particularly hearing from the MTG artists and their journey with this project [2/5] #changingthescene
