@PenAHay @Uhperry I'm struggling with the same decision. I'll miss the academic and artistic community but the other stuff coming through on my feed is really unpleasant at times.

@Uhperry Yes, agree, I’ve tried to curate a positive space of possibility but feel it’s time to go x

Time to leave Twitter?

@mrjamesob What a wonderful thread Thanks for sharing Simon. Had me in stitches.

Remember what I said about the speed with which ridiculousness can engulf you? And, with the exception of Boris Johnson milking Brexit supporters’ 2019 desperation, there is nothing worse than ridiculousness for a campaigning politician.

Time for change … in authentic representation onstage & off, onscreen and off, and in #ArtsEducation which has been decimated for working class communities. See our statement below. Talent is everywhere, Opportunity isn’t. #WorkingClassTalent

@DanRebellato Agree. We are all different and trigger warnings allow people to make their own informed decisions.

I love Matt Smith but there a difference between pleasurably scaring people and traumatising the vulnerable. Content warnings seem a harmless way of protecting the latter without affecting the former.

@Emma_Cole1 @chopstercles Admiration for knowing her own mind and finding effective forms of peaceful protest. Sending you strength.

@hmwheatley Congratulations

Very, very glad to have taken up my new post and be working with such a brilliant team

@hydeandgoseek So sorry for your loss.

@BecBenzie @profhelenbrooks Congratulations

Hurray for publication day & huge congrats to editors @profhelenbrooks & Michael Hammond on The Cambridge Companion to British Theatre of the First World War. Thrilled to have a chapter in this collection on Commemorating the War with a focus on centenary performance.

@emmcgirr When my godmother died she left me theatre programmes and scrapbooks full of theatre tickets and reviews of show she had been to. A fascinating slice of theatre history.

@Dylan4Compton @PlymUni Congratulations

Hey theatre peoples - where’s good to post castings that actors don’t have to pay a subscription to see? (Wanting to make our auditions as accessible as we can!) wondering if there are any we don’t know about yet!!

@Curious_Jadey @UofEDrama @UniofExeter Congratulations. It's a brilliant department.

@LeniGoddard @TaPRA_ @AylwynWalsh @GemmaEEdwards @RHULDrama Congratulations

I'm honoured to be the recipient of the 2023 @TaPRA_ Outstanding Research Contribution Prize. With huge thanks to @AylwynWalsh @GemmaEEdwards and the Performance Identity Community working group for nominating me and @RHULDrama for supporting my work for over two decades.

@DavidRichey @ActorKatie @EquityDandC So proud of the legacy of our branch and committee. Thank you @jamesmackblack for your commitment it means a lot to local actors.

@LukePollard Brilliant news thanks @LukePollard

Good news. I’ve brokered a deal between local residents and South West Water to close two private raw sewage outlets polluting #Plymouth Sound. I don’t just talk about stopping sewage. I take action to stop sewage. These two private outfalls should be closed by Christmas.

@georgie_grier You might just have given someone one of their best memories of Edinburgh. I remember seeing a show at midnight with my partner. We were the only two people in the audience and the show had a cast of 5. It was an incredible show and 25 years later we still talk about it.

There was one person in my audience today when I performed my one woman play, ‘Sunsets’ at #edfringe. It’s fine, isn’t it? It’s fine…? 🥹

@Rubyswoods I'd read it. I've also got two students at the moment who would love to read it as well.

I’m writing an article about what it’s like in a touring theatre production as an Autistic person and was like….. Is this too niche? 🤣

We had an amazing time at our @ExeterNorthcott Scratch Night, the first night of Futures Festival! Some really exciting work from @realcharevans, Charlie Ranken, OMF Theatre and Lesley Emery and a great opportunity for feedback.

@ExeterNorthcott @realcharevans Tonight, it's a relaxed performance of The Washing Machine of Destiny - Living Room Theatre! Full of bonkers ideas, with a knockout musical soundtrack, we can't wait for this one!

🚨CASTING CALL🚨 We are looking for 4 actors to join us for an R&D in September. This is a paid opportunity. Rehearsals will be in Bristol. Please email owlontherooftheatre@gmail.com with your headshot and CV/Spotlight and the character you would like to be considered for.
