A few days ago I found out my 86yr old mum with dementia had had a fall & been admitted to hospital I didn’t know which hospital so had to cold call the ones in the area No luck I thought this can’t be so called them all again Fortunately I got a different receptionist at one….

Many NPOs are frustrated by ACE's new reporting requirements and want some questions answered, as a group of Chief Executives told Arts Professional Arts Council England artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…

Tax return submitted but lurgy has taken over our house with both little ones off sick 😢

I'm not gonna share those disgusting racist tweets, but I'm gonna state that Francesca is a gorgeous human being - both inside and out. I can't wait to see her in The Jamie Lloyd Co 's Romeo & Juliet and fucking eat it up it like I know she can. The people that know, KNOW.

Every few years, I search for this 2019 clip of Blair again. The bluntness of his ‚power is power!‘ doesn‘t only apply to geopolitics, but equally to energy policy & the delayed energy transition. Raw power. No longer a lack of technologies or knowledge.

It's out in the world! Delighted to have contributed to this collection. A moment to reflect on producing from a feminist lense with inclusion at its heart. So important to document theatre & live performance, celebrate artistic talent & acknowledge the challenges. 🙃

Sad that Adam ⏬️ a military veteran of 27 years was "turned away at the door" when he produced his Veterans ID card in order to Vote. Voter ID is a Conservative scam. Since 2019 (Inc GE) more Tory MPs kicked out of parliament due to "misdemeanours" than Voter ID fraud cases😡

Well, this has backfired spectacularly. Minister ‘sorry’ as veterans find ID card not valid for English elections theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

All they've done is taken the offensive terminology out. It's still criminalising those experiencing homelessness. Homelessness is not and never should be a crime, the fact it exists should be... news.sky.com/story/minister…

It’s get-in Arcola Theatre for 2023 #PapatangoPrize winner SOME DEMON by Laura Waldren. As we open this world premiere by a debut writer, we thought it might be useful to be transparent about what this show takes. The £££, the timeline, the risks, all of it. So, here goes...

Arts funding is broken. Just received a rejection email from a funder. Their applications have increased BY 3000% 🫠 ACE success rates are dire right now, & more general funders are rejecting arts due to huge increases in applications from vital services like food/housing.

I'm thankful our overall success rate is OK, but that's only because I'm relentless with it & work far more hours than I should. It's unsustainable long-term. Lack of funding = loss of brilliant freelancers & SME orgs who can't make it work What do we do next as a sector?

Crazy idea but maybe just enjoy the fact the England team made it to the finals, be proud of them and celebrate them no matter the outcome. Ease up on the pressure & criticism and maybe just enjoy world cup soccer?

Totally agree thestage.co.uk/news/rufus-nor…

Writers! Your biogs are all too long. All of them. Whether for a book jacket, for a festival brochure or for anything else, they are too damn long. By miles. And you need a new photo too.

Fabulous to see Yolanda Mercy back on stage Summerhall with Failure Project, a sharply told story about how life and the theatre industry cuts tall poppies down.

Honestly, I thought it was parenthood, triggers, exhaustion, undiagnosed adhd and while it is some of those things, it is perimenopause. I've had a good experience with my GP so hrt patches & counselling are helping. Grateful for supportive friends, family & partner.
