‘And that means something. That we’re here.’ Watching a group of characters desperately searching for meaning/escape while knowing there will be no more songs because their composer has died… I thought this was brilliant. Very entertaining. Deeply moving. #HereWeAre @nationaltheatre.org.uk

Here We Are at the National Theatre. Picture taken from audience of the set. A white floor and large panelled wall, mirror panels on the side wall and a ladder. Two actors on stage. One hoovering the set.

Looks like good(ish) news potentially, but mad this has maybe only happened because of rumours causing major panic

Apparently turning 28 means spending 20 mins on the phone to my mum enthusiastically telling her about the oven cleaning kit I’ve just bought. She was genuinely thrilled tbf.

Managed 140 shows this year! 9.28% of these were pantos, for those interested. For budget reasons, mostly saw stuff that I could get comps or cheap(ish) tickets for. Two top faves were easily Till the Stars Come Down at the NT and Every Brilliant Thing at Roundabout 1/4

Looking to connect with writers with plays that would benefit from some R&D. Flexible cast size (probs 3-10 ish). Looking for stuff with: •Strong narrative/story •Sparky dialogue •Preference for work that engages with queerness, community, intimacy, legacy + I like sci-fi Drop me a message!

Dress rehearsal set malfunction that was so hilarious I asked if we could make it happen every time. Apparently to actually make it happen on purpose would require months of prep and very complicated carpentry logistics. Sad times.

In a career first, had to do a show run (for tech and stage management purposes) without the cast. Just me, asst director and production manager playing all 30 roles. Genuinely felt like the pre-show nightmare we all have but it was real.

Panto season is upon us. Seeing my first on Saturday. 10 booked in (so far…). Less than last year, but more than most deem acceptable. Lots of Wicked songs this year do we reckon!?
