when you think @deldridgewriter can't get any better. Betrayal on @ITV . Wow. Binged it. So good. Surely series 2?

Today, we’re launching public fundraising for our capital project to make the OT more accessible, welcoming & sustainable. £4.1m raised + £75k grant = 92% of the way there! Please consider helping us raise the final £350k 👇 🧡 orangetreetheatre.co.uk/open/

Please take a look at my daughter’s concert photography @mill_iephotos on instagram and please vote for her at songsbehindthemusic.com/awards for photographer of the year!

Good luck team @GMB for the first show tomorrow, and to @NickCaldon for outputting on his birthday! @edballs @susannareid100 @kategarraway @Lauratobin1 @RichardAArnold

@deldridgewriter Considering starting a dance party right now…

@HelenaCaldon 🙏🏻❤️

Finally seeing End! Incredible script. Am sure production will be superb. @deldridgewriter

@TheRockRevival_ @TruckFestival @ynotfestival @tramlines Where are all the women?

• @TruckFestival, @ynotfestival & @tramlines have announced their first wave of acts for 2026 🔥 What do we reckon? 👀

Published next Monday with a beautiful introduction by Dan Rebellato that makes me teary and blush @NationalTheatre @MethuenDrama @DanRebellato

@Tanika_Gupta Hedda @OrangeTreeThtr is a fabulous reimagining of Ibsen’s play. Beautifully written by Gupta as ever, cleverly produced and acted. 👏👏

@BanquetRecords Are you able to buy these after the event? Often have to rush off. Would also make excellent Xmas gifts 😉

A poster of the gig you’ve just been at, along with an album download - now happening at many of the bigger shows we put on

Very enjoyable afternoon skiving work and watching @mischiefcomedy rehearsal of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. As ever, it is going to be soooo good.

@deldridgewriter Belated Happy Birthday! (Sorry, I'm not on here much anymore!)

It was my birthday yesterday and I had a great day, not even spoilt by defeat for West Ham. One thing did really piss me off though. The only beer brands sold in the stadium now are Brewdog brands. There’s no choice at all but those shitty beers. Another downgrade on match day 🤮

Such sad news about John Stapleton. He was a good friend and mentor to my husband @NickCaldon, and I will always remember the kindness he and his wife showed me at their house at dinner with his colleagues, when they made sure I felt included. Incredible grace and kindness.

@BanquetRecords Circuits looking great! The speakers bring lifted makes such a huge difference to visibility for crowd, any chance of the screens being reinstated too?

how the tables have turned…

Proud mother moment…

Astonishing and moving production of 4.48 psychosis @TheRSC yesterday. A tough but important watch, beautifully told.

@yungblud's Bludfest. What a way to kick off festival season.

Having the most glorious weekend proofreading @gregjames' new non-fiction book. Everything I thought it would be and more. When work is just pure joy😃

I just want to send a note of support to my behind the scenes colleagues and friends at @GMB and @thismorning, and across ITV daytime. Many, including scores of hardworking, dedicated, talented, production staff, and studio and other crew, (as has widely been reported) are being told their roles are at risk of redundancy and that they will have to compete for similar positions. It's a very difficult time, and I want to send a public note of appreciation for everything they do and have done (as I'm not due in the building for a while to see people in person - and even when there its only a fraction). And I think its important to be clear, in public, that this is primarily a function of the decline in linear television - and not a reflection on the quality of the work. TV ratings (and thus for ITV, show revenue) keep dropping by, say, 10% year on year as more people switch to streaming and other online eyeball competition. That then leads to cost cutting, and job losses. Not that understanding the rational makes it easier, for anyone facing this life challenge. Good vibes to all.
