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. “Writing 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).
