It's always thrilling to watch them. They nail the delicate balance between the hilarious and the profound, blending them seamlessly. I particularly loved when @dylanmarkemery.bsky.social seamlessly switched chords from major to minor when the mood changed at the end of a scene.

It's very easy to become lost in their phenomenal plays and captivating storytelling. They are amongst the very few people who have a real passion for meaningful, empathetic, and theatrical improv. I love it so much.

This brilliant story had everything: Kate Bush references, multiple extraordinary musical instruments, 3 wonderful songs, compelling storytelling and a magician called Balthazar who had been turned into a Scooby Doo sounding horse. And a joy to have Adam back with the gang as well!

What an utterly wonderful performance of @schoolofnight.bsky.social at the beautiful Sands Film Studio tonight! This time The School improvised Shakespeare's lost comedy play "Trouble at the Coast" set in Bohemia, about Leon, Ryan and their mother Theresa Thomas. A thread on how phenomenal it was...

A special pilgrimage to St.George's Guildhall in #KingsLynn today - being stripped back to the 16th century beams which the Earl of Pembroke's Men once used (possibly inc. young William Shagspur). In a few years it will be restored to its 18th century form. (Robert Arnim was born here too)

Fraters Cox & Senton have been on a historical trail in #croatia - Was Dubrovnik Illyria? For the Oxfordians this garden, in the Franciscan priory in Dubrovnik, could be the one that became Olivia's palace in #twelfthnight And these hedges would be the 'box trees' It certainly makes good staging!
