Just been to brilliant panel talk, ‘It’s Just a Stage - Writing for Queer Performance’, @CoastIQlitfest. Loved Charlie Josephine’s hope for future:

In Sam Wilson, Class 8C, @maybeulikeit have gifted us the spiritual heir to Adrian Mole for today. Writer-performer James Akka is utterly hilarious as the Power Point-presenting, wannabe Head Boy making his power grab in ‘Sorry (I Broke Your Arms and Legs)’ @pleasance.

Just seen the extraordinary #sawdustsymphony @edfringe . Think Beckett meets woodwork. Circus and clowning brimming with the joy of creation but also with a darker, eerier edge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I were officially reviewing. @ZOOvenues

This is some fucking barbarous news, comrades.
