Delighted to be directing the development of @paulinelynch.bsky.social new play Pecking Order - a is quirky, funny, violent play which, to me, represents the chaos,
confusion and complexities of modern Britain! Catch a reading @dunsplayfest.bsky.social or Biggar Corn Exchange this May.

Best thing anyone’s said to me about the current emergencies. β€œWriting matters because someone needs to write the truth of our times, because we will be told it didn’t happen.” @csvich.bsky.social

No, Santa, I wasn't singing 'All I Want For Christmas Is Flu'. After 3 days in bed I think I've turned a corner, (well moved from bed to sofa) but oh my, it's gonna be a quiet, sleepy one! Youngest has it too. Good health to you all #recovery #flu #merrychristmas

Finished Wolf Hall, Series 2. So good. Rylance does so much with so little movement. It didn't end well for Cromwell (spoiler alert). I have to watch it again and again, it's compelling. So good. I do want French and Saunders to do a spoof version though (as Damian Lewis and Mark Rylance).

And for those of us who did use Twitter for professional reasons - I want my network to actually *see* my posts, not to have them suppressed because I didn't pay Musk Β£8 or use slurs.
