Internal notice.
After roughly a decade on extended leave, I am returning to my role as a playwright.
No action is required from you at this time. Further information will be shared in due course.
Thank you for your continued patience.

Remember the freakout when a supercomputer beat the best chess player in the world and everyone declared the game over, and then everyone forgot about it (and chess-playing computers) and chess became more popular than ever and a hit Netflix show?
Man vs. machine is fleetingly interesting but machine vs. machine is boring and pointless: nobody cares about interacting machines because there’s no human soul in the mix with emotions and moral agency. It’s just slop squared.
The only machine chatter anyone will care about (and then only indirectly) will be that between agents booking your flights, buying your groceries, etc. And it’ll be about as interesting as TCP/IP to most people.
AI actually puts the focus on the human more, not less.
Using Claude Code for the first time. I'm a complete novice, used to code HTML for fun in 99/00.
This is unbelievable, its like someone just put magic into my computer.
THIS - When these sh'ithouse MPs are talking about homes, they're talking about Drywalled tiny boxes, stacked high, most of them now-a-days build to rent so you can't even own them...
We're being completely sold down the river.
Lady in blue, "And homes. Let's be honest. Most of the time we're talking about flats"
"We're not talking about houses where people can grow into"
"I see families in these tiny little flats who feel so happy they own their own home but they haven't got room to enjoy their home"
"Are we actually going to build houses for people to live in and enjoy. Are they going to be affordable?"
Fantastic production of The Pitchfork Disney on @KingsHeadThtr right now. One of my fave plays by my fave writer. Company nailed it. Well worth 90mins of your time.
I don’t tend to tweet at all these days but I just wanted to say I saw Stereophonic on West End at the weekend and it was absolutely incredible top to bottom.
When did and I suppose HOW did Chinese food suddenly become necessary to sell a kidney for a decent meal? £10 for 8 chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce? I’m all for people getting paid…..but seriously?

There’s something deeply unsettling about very comfortable middle-aged middle class centrists in the Home Counties and Zone 2 London all eagerly logging on to demand that young working-class British men be are sent to risk their lives in Ukraine.
It’s honestly disgusting.

We're doing a play. It's about debt. It's funny.
It hasn't got ACE funding, and it's a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
Ifyou've not been to a theatre in years, never been at all, or don't feel like theatre's for you, this show IS FOR YOU!
Starts 19th Nov.

Flock @sohotheatre is well worth an hour of your time. 6.45pm start, a really touching, well written and performed story of young people within the care system. Bravo to @PlayingON_
This the quality you get with a @TaylorWimpey flat @NHBC how half these pass your quality checks is beyond me….total con. House builders are the biggest fraudsters going.
Pretty sure thats duct tape holding my windows up @TaylorWimpey and on a section of my property thats out of my bounds so only discovering nearly 5 years later, @NHBC please give some help this time, don't just protect your paymaster!

Lads, forget about your imaginary culture wars. This is what you should be kicking off about.
Adil Ray reading out the huge profits made by the profiteering energy companies and the massive salaries paid to fat cat bosses, while the head of Ofgem nods along. Well done Adil #GMB
