When the show closes there's an emptiness that's both glorious and sad. Like mourning a life well lived. Grateful for NORA @Hedgerow and now full of beautiful emptiness.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

there's a moment in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins play, The Comeuppance, when a character speaks to not only what they've endured in their personal life, but also what they've endured by living in the world at this time. That line landed in my core. What a world we live in (and what an amazing play).

I may not be writing much at the moment, but what an absolute joy it has been to work with this gorgeous cast @hedgerowtheatre as a foley artist. Certainly wasn't in the game plan but gratitude abounds.

Happy thanksgiving, especially to all the Brit’s like me, living in the us and not entirely sure how to celebrate…

Also it appears to me that the UK theatre scene is way ahead of the US theatre scene on migrating to Bluesky. Am I wrong? Please let me know. I want to follow your US theatre accounts.

Last night I watched Yael Farber's Crucible (Young Vic) on Digital Theatre and today I saw a student production of John Proctor is the villain by the extraordinary Kimberley Belflower at Bryn Mawr College. What a pairing. Such a gift.
