Allllll the way back in 1999 when me and my best mate wrote a script for Ticket to Write for new writers up north, and I fell in love with making plays. And now @painesplough is run by some of the best people in theatre ♥️

Let's have a look at this, I am reminded so often that most people don't necessarily understand what they are looking at with this industry, so it might be quite interesting to dissect.
We call this a Bridge Strike, when you understand a bit more you can see why they happen 🧵

Aside from their manifold contributions to the economy, theatre & performance play key roles in shaping and celebrating cultural value.

I’m running the Southampton half marathon this weekend for @IcklePickles and RHCH and I would love to reach my fundraising target before Sunday! ♥️
Arden's mum Gemma is running the #Southampton Half Marathon this weekend to raise funds for #Winchester Hospital's neonatal unit.
The right photo of her daughter Arden was taken earlier this year and shows what a difference #neonatal care can make 👉 theicklepickles.enthuse.com/…

It's a tough landscape out there and I've felt really lost in it recently. Thankful that the stars may be aligning a little bit now..
Yep absolutely the most pressing issue in UK theatre today, followed by noisy sweets and people singing along to musicals.
Arden’s (2) addiction to Peppa Pig has reached such extremes that she now replies ‘you most welcome’, Daddy Pig-style, any time we say thank you to her. #peppapig #toddlers #goodmanners

Ah, Michael Gambon. I saw him in Krapp's Last Tape well over a decade ago and he was so convincing it felt like the entire audience expected him to expire any moment, then at the curtain call he did a full on heel click jump in the air to show us all what a good actor he was.
Come and celebrate At the Forest’s Edge with us!
🌳 We can't wait to celebrate At The Forest's Edge with everyone on 17 June ☀
🎥 Hear from our partners about the project 🙌

Lucky to be directing Nora by @stefsmith in this beautiful theatre with the lovely lot of acting students @_UoW. Final shows today! #nora #adollshouse
Are you coming to see @_UoW Nora?
It's about three women in 1918, 1968 and 2018 and asks the question, 'how much has really changed in 100 years?'

Twitter world can you help? I have a ticket for #forblackboys at the Apollo on Tues April 18 and can't use it 😭. Does anyone have a ticket for a different date they'd swap with me? It's a balcony seat so probably not for anyone with long legs..
