A bumper year for @ThePleasance #CharlieHartillFund 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Happy #WorldTheatreDay from our team to all the other fringe venues out there. (And the incredible artists they support.) Keep doing what you're doing! 💛

A Pleasance Scratch is BACK 🔥 Programmed across two nights, this is your chance to see thirteen amazing artists present an excerpt of their work in the early stages of development. bit.ly/3TlonIW (full line up in thread below!)

Oh @ATGTICKETS absolutely not. It feels like half the industry is working it’s socks off to make theatre accessible and the other half’s like “nahhhh, you’re alright”

30hrs later I’m still not home, still at the airport & still can’t get any sense from @British_Airways. I’ve missed work, I’ve missed medical appointments & I’m very tired! Disgusting treatment.

… but not tell me until I get to the gate. @British_Airways staff on the ground have no idea what’s going on & can provide no information, utterly useless. Can’t get through to customer services. What service am I paying for her @British_Airways? A shabby & dishonest one…

Shabby & dishonest @British_Airways -BA cancel Mon 11:05AM flight -BA offer flight next day at 11:55am, over 24hrs later -new flight 2.5hrs delayed -new flight already overcrowded so BA decide, that morning, to bump me onto later evening flight…

Thank you so much to @nic_connaughton @ellessimpson & #JonnyPatton for your unwavering support and kindness through the good & the tricky bits, and making us a @ThePleasance Associate show. It’s orgs & people like you that really make the difference to new companies and artists.

I’ve been incredibly rubbish at tweeting through the summer, so here is a Big Massive Thread of my #EdinburghFringe and all the people I’d like to thank! In summary though, it was a gorgeous month of nostalgia, brilliant theatre, time with pals and no sleep ✨

@porlcooper 😍😍
