I’d love to connect. Wondering if I can contribute anything to your studies or offer access to artefacts as I work at The Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond, North Yorks, built 1788 by actor-manager Samuel Butler and his genius wife Tryphosa Brockell.

Does anyone else have plays they need to finish writing before they can start on the plays they really want to write?

Mondays in the winter months- how are we getting through them?

My suggestion is regular snacks and my favourite perfume worn even though I’m just going to work.
