I'm delighted to say I'm the new Plymouth Laureate of Words. The first woman & playwright in the role. I'm walking on air, which for 2020 is really something. Thank you so very much to everyone who voted, it means so much. Thank you to @LitWorks @PlymouthUK2020 @theboxplymouth

Great to see the @PlymArtVending in action at this morning's launch. It's a source of unique poetry and plays, each one bundled with a handsome enamel pin badge, at £1 a pop. Get down to @drakecircusplym with all your loose change! 🪙🪙🪙 @PlymCultureUK @DownStageWrite1
