Choreo by Mercy Osborne

Shooting today

The director of my first film asked to use my actual name for the character - because it was authentic and beautiful. I felt flattered and agreed. And then in the credits they used my ‘nickname’ to differentiate from the character name. They stole my name. And I’m taking it back.

This has completely stopped me in my tracks. thetimes.co.uk/article/c21b66…

Re Noel Clarke.

Stop telling actors they're lucky to work. Stop casting men opposite women 20yrs their junior. Ditch the ' ten things that will make a casting director hate you ' shit. It all adds to the accepted toxic norm that we need to be young, pretty, grateful and compliant. Enough now.

Pleasure to get to work on the ‘Good Enough’ music video, watch the full video now : youtu.be/VPKwF2KxfvM

Very proud watching some familiar faces in their third year musical ‘Spring Awakening’ Emil Dale Academy -bloody brilliant as always xx

Nothing in the Queen's Speech about workers' rights. No promise to ban fire and rehire. But pledges to "reform" planning and the NHS. This Tory government works for greedy bosses, property developers and private healthcare corporations – not for workers, renters, or the 99%.

Yay! Another upcoming monologue to announce - how do I get to work with these ace people?! The brilliant Geri plays a tired, harassed Mum who lashes out at a neighbour's child. The fantastic Sean Robert Daniels is to direct. Coming soon. Yay again! #theatre #newwriting

Sweating like Prince Andrew out here.
