Brace! Brace!

MY FATHER’S FABLE Bush Theatre by Faith Omole How it makes my heart sing to see a debut play handled with such love and care to deliver its - in this case - truly gargantuan potential. Beautifully balanced with a great cast but main props to Rakie Ayola💜 Still Menopausal A study in restraint.

Really interesting hybrid script comp. Bold new approach .. or Dickens’ Penny Dreadfuls getting a modern glow up? You decide! And maybe enter? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

These beautiful words from Stephen Unwin for a beautiful man who changed the lives of so many writers simply by believing in them and never accepting less than their best. A gorgeous summary.

THE BEAR S3 EP8. Anybody else a total mess after watching this? Genuinely think I have been changed forever on a molecular level. Jamie Lee Curtis and Abby Elliott beyond sublime The Bear

THE BUSH. So chuffed to make the final reading round of this year’s Bush Theatre submissions. Really encouraging and actionable feedback. Massive congrats to all who made the final cut. Ps .. go see SHIFTERS in the West End! Caught it Bush Theatre in March and it is DELICIOUS!

MNEMONIC National Theatre OK, so. A play about how we all have origins. And we all have the same origin. And that origin is connected by memory. And that memory is altered by climate. Which creates new origins. Which creates new memories .. COMPLICITE mind blowing and sumptuous.

MUCH ADO Globe Theatre My first ever trip to the Bard’s London crib. Pretty, pretty magical!

DEATH OF ENGLAND: MICHAEL Roy Williams Clint Dyer This took my breath away National Theatre then again @sohoplace The sooner this complex, unflinching and compassionate trilogy about national identity is taught in schools, the better. God knows, we need it right now.

DEATH OF ENGLAND: DELROY. Incredible performance from Paapa Essiedu of this vital, siren-call play. Angry and funny. Vulnerable and confronting. Is there anything this top-class actor can’t do? From this to THE EFFECT and A NUMBER, he is perfection. Roy Williams Clint Dyer

My latest op-ed for The Stage is about the need to empower more creatives to self-produce, rather than relying on independent producers to carry the burden. But as well as an attempt to talk myself out of a job, it’s a paean to the likes of my brilliant colleague David Doyle.

Really great article. Def think self prod is the way to go. I’m not daunted by spread sheets. More, as an emerging writer with little to no theatre network, pulling together a creative team, particularly a director. Any thoughts on where to start with that Ellie? Or anyone?!

In the dreaded ‘a few lines about yourself’ sections of applications etc … what do other writers write? What do producers, ADs etc want to read?! Anna Jordan Mark Ravenhill Benedict Lombe Kelly Jones Ellie Keel Daniel Bailey Phoebe Eclair-Powell Francesca Moody Papatango Paines Plough

An incredible opportunity from an incredible company Bad Wolf Jane Tranter Emma Obank Apply people, apply!

G Royal Court by Tife Kusoro. Absolute gem of a play that totally captures the claustrophobia and terror of teenagers trapped in the powerless, liminal world between being a kid and an adult. Red hot writing and performances but the staging, music and movement … oh my!
