End of an era. Known as a champion of truth among journalists, a God among skinny pigs and a legend among Leeds fans. Put simply there is no man I would rather share rooftop views, Kerala-inspired feasts and cocktails with. Thank you for everything! 💙💛#MOT

A wee note to say Aug 4 will be my final working day at the YEP after seven brilliant years. Two more pods and a couple of ratings to rage at, then time for a change. Will shortly be able to say more about what's next and it's still entirely focused on Leeds United, so it won't be goodbye. #lufc

Voting aside, this was a very moving, well crafted piece of work. My accomplice for the evening was a Chelsea fan- and he was moved to tears. Bravo and good luck. 🤞

New on the blog, #disabled actor and director Lara Wilson on finding confidence in her artistic identity, and the importance of the arts giving "a voice to people who aren’t normally seen." www.redladder.co.uk/i-thought-if...
Lara stood behind her wheelchair holding the handles. Caption: “I thought if I called myself a ‘disabled actor’ people wouldn’t want to work with me. But it’s important, it’s part of my identity.” 
Lara Wilson, actor/directorLara on stage with finger raised pointing dynamically at another actor. Caption: “Leeds Conservatoire and especially Erin Carter, who is head of drama there, encouraged me to embrace having a wheelchair and to use it as a creative tool...That was a liberating moment for me and boosted my self-belief.”Lara sat in a chair giving feebback to an actor sat opposite with script in hand. Caption: “We need to show young people, no matter who they are or what their background, that they can have a career in the arts.”

Jim’s always been a character, just like his Dad, and spends most of his life between the bookies, the pub and Elland Road. He’s always had this lingering feeling though that he doesn’t quite fit into this world, that there’s something different about him, something wrong…
A man stands with his fists clenched over his face in anguish. Behind him is a partially empty pint of beer and a Leeds United scarf.

Leeds folk, football fans, everyone - if you can still get tickets, #throughitalltogether is an incredible, emotional rollercoaster. I’ve never seen @reecedinsdale.bsky.social in anything I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed and this is no exception. Fabulous performance. 💛💙

Saw #ThroughItAllTogether last night. We loved it! I'd urge all #lufc fans to see it. We are currently caring for my wife's mum who is living with dementia. So it resonated with us on a lot of levels. Everyone involved should be very proud! Really nice to chat with @deansmith7.bsky.social after too.

Brilliant email from Rachel at #LeedsPlayhouse just now inviting attendees of tonight's press night of #ThroughItAllTogether by @cpoconnor87.bsky.social to wear football tops (specifically @leedsunited.com) I hope lots of people take up the offer. I'd love to see a lot more cross-culture in theatre.
