Confirmed: Cate Blanchett and Tom Burke to star in The Seagull in London whatsonstage.com/news/cate-blan…

Did we not just have The Seagul on ? ... please programme new plays, with new writers, new actors and challenge and excite your audiences . This is a merry go round of the same format with the same starry casts and the same (mainly male) writers / directors

She's brilliant ✨

Unless all we want to do as a country is tour musicals or plays with star names, we need to 1. bring in more international work to provoke our own artists 2. support our own artists to match those ambitions In the current funding climate neither is possible. So musicals it is

The winner of the 2024 #PapatangoPrize, from a record 1,589 entries, is: THE MEAT KINGS! (INC.) OF BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by HANNAH DORAN! Hannah is a British-Irish writer based in London. Her debut play was inspired by her time working as a (vegetarian) butcher in New York.

I've heard they're pretty special 🩷

Wave of light for my little August. I feel you everywhere and miss you always. #BabylossAwarenessDay #WaveofLight2024 #BLAW
