5 years ago today after 5 months of training was my professional wrestling debut for a company I believe called Progress. I hope many of you have enjoyed what I've done in my career so far. Here's to maybe 5, 10, 15 more years...

I bought it off EBay in 2017 for the โ€˜Fair Field Full of Folkโ€™ exhibition I curated at the National Poetry Library. The centerpiece was a manuscript of the 14th-century epic poem Piers Plowman dating to 1399/1400 #medievaltwitter โ€“ at Camberwell, London

โ€œI am mud and flame!โ€ How has it taken me so long to watch the extraordinary Pendaโ€™s Fen (1974)? And how on earth did I create a five-hour-long piece of theatre inspired by Piers Plowman & set in the Malvern Hills without seeing it?!?! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ โ€“ at Camberwell, London

Piers Plowman was right tbh. The nobility was morally bankrupt because they were proud that they did not have to work hard to survive. Wat Tyler should have won and the rich are the same way today
