Seriously - this really is selling fast (it’s not one of those things designed to get more people to buy tickets) - only 1 performance this week has tickets left

Road trip to Pitlochry Festival Theatre today to catch @Emiliepatry @DavidWRankine and fiona wood and the whole team in action - heard so many good things - can’t wait

I rarely tweet but this is so important to me - so many artists and friends make Bard in the Botanics so special - and I know cause I’ve been Artistic Director for 16 years - cancelling our summer season will put us and the company in jeopardy - please consider donating via our website

Stay home - help save Judi! We need her now as much as ever!

Such beautiful words from a beautiful human being - thanks Nicole Cooper for your incredibly kind words about me and Bard in the Botanics - love you very much!

These guys! Love every one of them so much and I miss them all so much - virtual catch-ups will have to do for now!

This! These plays are timeless because of their humanity - but they must be reinvented, investigated, made fresh and new for our world - never let them become museum pieces - and if you don’t have an urgent need to tell one of his stories, just leave them for someone else!

If you've watched our tribute to Shakespeare and the imagination on our YouTube channel - youtube.com/watch?v=dzJkAY… - you'll have seen 2 new faces for Bard in the Botanics - actors, Brooklyn Melvin and @bea_p_webster (Bea Webster) are both D/deaf performers using BSL -

Thank you to everyone who helped us raise this money - let me tell you, as an Artistic Director, it means everything to know that people care enough about your work to put their hands in their pockets at such a difficult time - very humbling and just brilliant!

I love Scotland! I know £10 million in reality won’t go that far but it is a lifeline and will potentially save venues and jobs - and it just feels good to know someone is listening!
