Absolutely! (I just ran out of space, sorry!) We want to create a series of cross disciplinary #CraftDebates supported by @StageDirectors, Directors UK and Directors Charitable Foundation. Proposals welcome!

Much deserved. Go Miri!

What a pleasure talking to Phyllida Lloyd in front of this invited audience in RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art)'s Studio Theatre last night. Such a nice and honest lady!

I had a great time interviewing Phyllida Lloyd last Monday for the Directors Charitable Foundation Craft Debate - as did the audience. What a clever, committed, clear headed and modest lady! I think that close examination of a fine director's techniques is very worthwhile. We should do more of it!

Crystal clear that Brexit didn’t need to happen. Not only did no one understand it, virtually no one was asking for it! National hara kiri on a grand scale!

A very rewarding Directors Charitable Foundation project to work on, #DirectorsinSchools uses the commitment of directors from film, theatre and TV to reach out to disadvantaged children and put them in touch with our world. Thanks to Directors UK and our other supporters for making it possible!

Another wonderful #DirectorsinSchools workshop this week, at Paddington Academy, taken by Olivia Furber (@ivotheatre). Olivia says: 'The workshop for was a real pleasure, the students were a delight'. The DCF is bringing the best creative minds into underresourced classrooms.

BBC Execs Francesca Unsworth Rob Burley, you should be ashamed. People are so angry and disappointed at this, no wonder you've had to close down the The Andrew Marr Show Twitter account! No #BorisLies tomorrow! Andrew Marr must be required, for once, to hold the Liar of No10 to account!

Only a few more workshops from #DirectorsinSchools before the end of term. Tomorrow Anthony Almeida, winner of the 2019 Sir Peter Hall Director Award, is taking an interactive session with 25 students at Bristol Brunel. Another committed Directors Charitable Foundation director 'passing it on'..!

What the Bristol Brunel Academy said re yesterday's #DCFworkshop by Anthony Almeida: "I really noticed a difference in my students in their lesson the next day. They had a more mature approach to their work and a renewed seriousness in their learning." Another DCF success!

This is important. Time to make the government recognise the creative self employed.

Historic occasion. All the best Andrew!

Narcissistic Boris Johnson wanted another 15min presidential address. By announcing steps starting on Monday, he could do this Sunday. But start date agreed was Wednesday - hence the chaos. It's a con! Next time Keir Starmer, The Labour Party UK insist on Opposition TV Right of Reply

Dominic Cummings is a liar, like his master. They both should go.

Wonderfully apropriate!
