Went to see the amazing @sedickenson's epic and brilliant play @ExeterNorthcott yesterday. Fills me with joy to see a dramaturg who's helped so many craft wonderful pieces of theatre to come into her own as a writer! #thecommotiontime

I'm on the board of @ActorsTouringCo so could definitely be accused of bias, but this was genuinely one of my two favourite things that I saw at the theatre in 2023. So if it's coming near you, go! 1/2

I’ve been pushing Govt to appoint new Minister for Disabled People - shocked to learn they're scrapping it. Disabled people need their *own* Minister to address challenges, discrimination & to champion their rights. Shocking downgrade of representation & at time of such hardship.

The Royal Court is shocked to learn that Mustafa Sheta & Jamal Abu Joas of @freedom_theatre have been arrested. We demand their immediate release. Ahmed Tobasi was also arrested & has since been released. He is suffering injury as a result of being detained. Full statement:
