Had an incredible week facilitating 'Public Trust' by Paul Ramirez Jonas for Transform. What a beautiful piece of work. I even made a little #promise myself. Signed in blood of course. Thanks to Jamal Gerald who will be holding me to account! Amy Letman Top programming as always!

Really enjoyed 'As You Like It' last night. Huge congrats to Leeds Conservatoire School of Drama Alexander Ferris Christella Litras. It was far and away the best production of 'As You Like It' I have ever seen. Great partnership Leeds Playhouse.

I'm an associate professor, my wife is not from the UK. We own our flat, we contribute to the economy, but I don't earn enough and it looks like the new rules might mean that my wife has to leave the country. I'm a British citizen, and I'd leave with her.

Pretty sensational choice from National Theatre. Couldn't be more stoked about @IRubasingham being the next AD at the Nat.

Had a great time directing 'King Charles III' by Mike Bartlett with Leeds Conservatoire School of Drama 2nd years over the last month. Not many second year groups who could hold their peers on the edge of their seats for 2.5 hrs with a play about constitutional crisis, in verse but they smashed it.

Really loved r i p t i d e 'Intermission'. Sensational piece of work. Moving, reflective, dreamlike 80 mimutes. Unlike anything I've ever seen before. If you haven't booked a ticket. You should.

Fantastic working with this talented bunch at Leeds Conservatoire School of Drama. Very proud of our King Charles III.

My talented and inspiring grandad, Kenneth V. Jones, just had an album released. He would have turned 100 this month. You can listen here to a beautiful recording of some of his classical works by Lyrita Records performed by London Mozart Players open.spotify.com/album/2ExoHP7b…

Currently in tech for ROB.GREEN's excellent new musical 'Folklore' which reimagines European Folktales with a 21st century perspective. Lovely piece about belonging and identity with some banging tunes. Leeds Conservatoire School of Drama

Finally got to visit this QR code at Lindow Man's findsite which connects to a short audio project I created in collaboration with Sparklab Productions. Wonderful perf from Darren Kuppan. You can listen here discoverlindow.org/discover-lindo…, but it's extra special at the findsite! Lindow Moss

PLOT TWIST!!!

Equity responds to the budget. Full statement in 🧵

We lost our amazing mum on New Year's Day. She had a brilliant career and made such a difference to Stroke treatment in the UK as well as being an wonderful human, colleague and mum. Such heartbreak, but such pride too in the life she lived and the lives she changed.

I was struggling to start #writing today. And then I saw Mark Ravenhill's exercise 61 had dropped in my inbox. It was exactly what I needed to stop procrastinating (for today at least). Can't recommend this (free) subscription highly enough. buttondown.com/MarkRavenhill

Finally finished #ParadiseLost! It was undoubtedly the most challenging thing I have ever read with over 10,000 lines of verse, archaic english and chaotic grammar but such a satisfying achievement. Truly #epic. Im so taken with it I am now wondering if it could be staged...

I had the pleasure of attending a ten year celebration of Nimbus Records publishing yesterday. Im listening to Gavin Higgins' 'Faerie Bride' on the train home and I am totally spellbound. What a story, what a libretto, what music. Magic! open.spotify.com/album/6Alzwh4p…
