Still recovering from Fringe but thought I’d compile all the lovely feedback we got for Antigone: The Musical @theSpaceUK - any producers/venues interested in this 5⭐️ new musical please do get in touch! #newmusicaltheatre #mt

🚨RESEARCH SHOWS GENDER IMBALANCE IN WRITERS OF BRITISH THEATRE🚨 New research into the gender balance of composers, lyricists and playwrights in UK theatre has found there remains a large discrepancy in the representation of writers credited for main stage productions in 2022

Thrilled to share the #CFP for the #TragedyQueered conference (6-7 July 2023) at @UniofReading! Join us in exploring receptions and uses of Greek and Roman tragedy in queer culture! Deadline 29-January. Please share across disciplines. Hope to see you all there! @UniRdg_Classics

This week’s i newspaper column from me inews.co.uk/opinion/why-i-…

Here we are. I had to be picky; at least five honourable mentions would have gone up a tier if the standard had been a little less competitive. For Pick of the fringe and Honourable mention, come this way. chrisontheatre.wordpress.com/2022/08/01/edi…

@MayganForbes @edfringe @theSpaceUK Thanks Maygan- so glad you enjoyed! 💜

@cns_theatre We love a bit of cheese! Thanks for this, Chris :)

Antigone, the musical @MusicalAntigone from Hard Luck Theatre. Starts off as a faithful retelling, then there's a rather cheesy change to the plot. So cheese away for all it's worth. chrisontheatre.wordpress.com/2022/08/01/edi…

@NDSreview @EllaZinc @TChandlered @aimee_speaks @deafciara @SimonCJay Really grateful for all you did this Fringe! 💜

We've published our 56th and final review. It's been a pleasure covering neurodiverse, autistic and disabled acts at #EdFringe2022 - We will be back in 2023. Thank you to our reviewers: @EllaZinc @TChandlered @aimee_speaks @deafciara and our editor @SimonCJay

@NDSreview Thank you so much for this @EllaZinc - we’re glad you enjoyed!

Review: Antigone: The Musical ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'What’s undeniable about this show is how much fun it is. A highly entertaining hour that still has enough substance that it feels like far more than just a fluff piece, or a send-up' neurodiversereview.co.uk/antigone-the-m…

⭐To all the ARTISTS, AUDIENCES and VENUE STAFF who joined us this year and made the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe so INCREDIBLE⭐ Thank you... and we hope to see you again in 2023!

That's a wrap! This is all you. The companies, the crew, the flyering, the late nights, the pints, the sold-out theatres and the tip-top resilience. The laughs, coffees, warm-ups, reviews, star ratings. Theatre. Can you spot yourself...? #theSpaceUK #edfringe

@fmsapsford Thank you!

Just finished our last show and it’s been a crazy couple weeks- here are all the people who made Antigone possible!

@judeeferguson Aw thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!!

@MusicalAntigone Saw the show tonight. Loved it so much!! Brilliant retelling, funny, sad, uniting, excellent acting, singing and passion from the cast and first-class musicians. My 15 yo, classics-obsessed daughter adored it too & I got all the creds for booking it. 10/10 ❤️

I can’t believe we’ve finished!!! It’s been crazy, exhausting, but most of all an unbelievable amount of fun!!! 🎉⭐️❤️
