A studio theatre set that looks like a forest with an outpost. Two young women in 19th century clothing are flanked by two strange humanoid creatures, one made of twigs and branches, the other made of shells.

"Seven Trunks" opens tonight at Chester Little Theatre for its sold out three day run. I couldn't be prouder of this incredible team for bringing my vision to life. Let's hope the audience likes it!

It's no longer Labour vs Tories Vs Lib Dems.

It's no longer Tories vs the working class.

It's the political class, media class and entitled classes vs everyone else in the UK.

From page to stage... very exciting to see Lily's fabulous set design sketches coming to life today with Keith and Paul at Chester Little Theatre πŸ™Œ I've really missed putting an original show together from scratch. Three weeks to go!

An extract from a script showing the following dialogue exchange between a jailor and Mr Thomas Greene:
"Are you injured, Mr Greene?"
"I am not, sir."
"Then what are these bandages across your chest about?"

Completed my script for Hope Mill's Queer Shorts, Feb 8th. A play taken from real events that proudly highlights that trans people have always been here, getting on with their lives, being themselves regardless of what society dictates. #translives #wehavealwaysexisted #representationmatters

Pointing out sexual harassment = woke.

Telling kids it’s okay to be gay = woke.

Refusing a belief that intelligence is determined by race = woke.

Many politicians hate β€œwoke nonsense.” But if exposing inequality and challenging harm is woke, we should embrace it in everything we do.

Just saying.

Throwback to that happy little time in London in November where I really liked the lighting in the capsule hostel. I need to find more pockets of joy like this, and excuses to go see fabulous shows and work with more amazing queer creatives! #transjoy #transman #London #selfies
