A great write up on @AlisonCarr_ and one of our latest projects - Doppleganger for @bbcthree Thank you Cultures NE and @samwonfor 🙏 culturednortheast.co.uk/p/from-stage-t…

@Ornsack Dave Brain! I wrote Doppelganger and have heard so much about you and your fantastic work from Zak ❤

I worked on Doppelgänger - It's weird, when I was a student the big goal for me was to work on a BBC Three show, so it's nice to finally tick that off the bucket list after 2.5 decades 😅 Awesome project to be a part of, anyway. bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

@LNER Hi. I recently booked tickets for myself & another traveller who has a Disabled Persons Railcard. The tickets I have received are both marked as 'Disabled Persons Railcard' even though only one of us is a card holder. Is this bc the discount is applied to both travellers?

Yes it's a silly play with a quiz about the end of the world, but live theatre and its shared experience are so much more ❤

There's a vox pop near the end of @BBCRadioStoke's review of Last Quiz Night with an audience member who says "our community has been fragmented in very many different ways and this helps bring it back together again". It brought a tear to my eye when I heard that.

@kaitewelsh Little do you know, I'm drinking that squash right now ...

@AlisonCarr_ The squash. The SQUASH, Alison.

@kaitewelsh Loads of it I get, and is expected. Don't get me wrong, I've bought merch for stuff I love in the past. But so much of it feels so desperately random.

@AlisonCarr_ I’m remembering all the raised eyebrows when Sephora did a collab with Wicked not long after it first opened. And also remembering the amount I paid to get it shipped from the US when I was a student…
