If anyone who saw Imaginary Friends thought I was a bit harsh on Piers Morgan, consider this.

Apologies to anyone who's visited my website lately. It appears to have been hacked. I've taken it down temporarily and normal service will be resumed as soon as I get a minute.

About a decade ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in honour of Shakespeare's birthday, here's what I found.

I don’t remember much about this chat from five or so years ago but I do remember that I enjoyed it immensely.

Daughter (7) just yelled for me at an ear-splitting volume, waking her brother in the process. The reason? It says in her book Boris Johnson’s Prime Minister.

Following yesterday’s marathon result, I haven’t ascended to a higher plane of existence and I remain fundamentally the same person. What’s next.

Happy with that. #ManchesterMarathon

Did I mention I’m doing a Christmas.

🎭 Exciting Announcement!

🎉 We are thrilled to introduce Jennifer Jackson as the Director of ROBIN HOOD at The Egg this Christmas!

🌟 Jennifer Jackson is a Midlands born Latinx Anglo-Bolivian theatre-maker, movement director/choreographer and performer. (1/5)

I’m excited about this.

Now that Imaginary Friends has finished its run, normal service will be resumed. I'm running a marathon on Sunday, I've got a deadline in May, I've still got two kids, the trains will be terribly delayed; this tweet can stand in for all the tweets I would have done on the above.

For without hustling hard, how could the daughter of the 8th baron Latymer and granddaughter of former Telegraph editor Bill Deedes, whose family names are a bank to the wealthy and actual money, possibly have built her career?

REALLY enjoyed daniel bye’s #imaginaryfriends Moving and enchanting. Top top storytelling. Cracking stuff and a gorgeous way to leave the world for a while. One more show Alphabetti Theatre to catch it.

Last one tonight!
