@HYWEL_ROBERTS "Spool!" How one word can hold so many possibilities and carry such weight whilst being delivered in a range of voices! We saw this a couple of weeks ago. D

Meet your heroes. Went to see Gary Oldman in ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ last night. He was fantastic. It turns out he’s a lovely man who likes his fans. And I’m a big fan.

@IlkleyPlayhouse Congratulations to all involved! Can't wait to see it on Saturday. DOK 💙
