The amazing Yvonne Morley is helping bring Richard III to life at York Theatre @YorkTheatre this Sunday. Tickets are fast running out but there is a live stream at yorktheatreroyal.co.uk/show/a-voice-f… Should be an amazing experience. Hope you can make it in person or online

Big day for the new PM in Liverpool today - where Labour dominate the political landscape. Yet their leader isn’t winning many popularity contests in the city. Why? We went to @IanByrneMP’s West Derby constituency for a better sense… W/@HarryPeetTV channel4.com/news/what-do-v…

@WAPtheatre Sorry to hear that Anna. I hope you are OK. I am going to try and make it to this Christmas Party on the 10th of December, so hopefully see you there. Mat x

Being going through a tough time of late & work, like everything, has been so hard. There are a few tricks & tools I've held onto for dear life which have helped get me through & now I'm (hopefully) coming out the other side I thought I'd share them #WritersSurvivalTips...

"The reality is that capital punishment in America is a lottery. It is a punishment that is shaped by the constraints of poverty, race, geography and local politics." — Bryan Stevenson, Death Row lawyer #usa #deathpenalty #deathrow

@LifeLines25 Being part of LifeLines and writing to someone on the row has helped shape my life in the most positive way possible, giving a little hope to someone where there was none. Been writing 15 years and counting.

We're honoured to count Bryan Stevenson as a past conference speaker. Tomorrow we're privileged to hear from Debra Milke who, rather than have space to grieve when her young son was murdered, lived under a death sentence for 22 yrs before being exonerated of his murder. Join us👇

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout. You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already 🛒 filled my cart 🛒 emptied my cart 🛒 scanned the items 🛒refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ....All of us These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old ……………………… Copied and pasted, because I agree 100%. SPREAD IT AROUND

As we approach the scary part of the year, you know the "H" word, spare a thought for "The Withering. It's fermenting nicely in the corner of a room, just waiting to explode onto a stage somewhere. It is coming! And when it does...remember..."Some things are best left unsaid".

@ancientmarinade @MatthewFieldact Sorry Henrik, not been on the site for a while. Thanks for enquiring. We are making some progress but it's tough getting anyone to commit. There are lots of irons in lots of fires and one of them will come off for sure...and when it does, "be afraid". Mat x

@MatthewFieldact @withering_the how's it going with this thing?

Over £5,000 has now been pledged to my ghostly play project @withering_the The Crowdfunder page closes on 16th of February. Please check out what I am going to be doing at crowdfunder.co.uk/thewithering A massive thanks to everyone who has donated. THE WITHERING IS COMING - BE AFRAID!!!

Things have been quiet for a while but have no fear. We are working away on this project. Things are tough in the entertainment world but never fear, "The Withering" is coming, in all its scary glory. "Don't Tell A Soul".
