I think it's really unfair to punish all those hard working creatives because of the horrible actions of this man. He should be the only one to face consequences BBC News - Coraline play cancelled after Gaiman allegations bbc.com/news/articles/…

@ChrisBushWrites @crucibletheatre @TheStage Well deserved it was such a gripping show!

Lovely to see A Doll's House @crucibletheatre make the cut of @TheStage's top 50 shows of the year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈 I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful co-op 😍

I can't wait 😍

@AudreySheff Actually almost any play I see becomes my favourite. There are also plenty of fringe plays like 'Corpse Flower' which I saw at the fringe

@AudreySheff Oh and I HAVE TO add 'the play that goes wrong'! It's just so much fun and I'm a huge fan of the stage combat elements. Oh and 'the accidental death of an anarchist' at the Crucible because of the high energy of the performers.Okay I stop now, for real *keeps listing in her head*

would love your thoughts - who are your favourite 5 playwrights / top 5 plays? (would love to hear why too, but just names / titles would be great too) thank you so much 🙏🏼💜

@AnitaGilbertAct 50??? You?? What??? 😲 Belated happy birthday 🎈🎂🎉 🥳 ps: no clue about the hoover sorry 😬

Yesterday I turned 50 😱 - actually I feel very lucky to have had 50 wonderful years of fun-filled life. Anyway, more importantly I need cordless vacuum recommendations. Go….

@TommiJBryson Fair enough. I still love your writer's cafe idea though. That sounds generally like a wonderful thing

@LSHelbig For the prize: idk, usually funding or planning parameters. i have mixed thoughts. Im not working on it tho, so can only speculate. For the thing I'm doing: x.com/TommiJBryson/s…

Sheffield / SY writers under 30 I'm thinking of organising a writers cafe / mutual script exchange to get writers in our region ready for this exciting new opportunity Is there an appetite? Who wants in? Feel free to DM! X

I'm so glad I went to see 'a doll's house' by @ChrisBushWrites directed by @e_schofield27 @crucibletheatre it was breathtaking 😍 Siena Kelly, Mel Lowe, Eleanor Sutton, Aaron Anthony, Even Figueiredo, Tom Glenoster thank you for the journey I'm in awe at your performances

@LauraCHorton Oh wow that's awful I have my fingers crossed that it'll get resolved soon

Sending solidarity to everyone affected by this. I have over 15k frozen in Summerhall's bank account & have no idea when & if I might get it back. I feel sick to my stomach. I'm sure many people are in the same boat.

Big #shoutout to @AnitaGilbertAct you are an absolute star! It's such a joy to work with you and THANK YOU for being able to jump in to help me so last minute ❤️ if anyone needs #accent help I can highly recommend her 😁
