What a fantastic balance between light and dark - Lifers by Evan Placey @swkplay.bsky.social last night really played with my sympathies - one minute laughing with prisoners who are later revealed to be something quite different. Recommended.

Tonight is the Press Night of @ruthdsilva.bsky.social's Bungalow @theatre503.bsky.social and I'm excited for this wonderful play - it's a beautifully written piece about a family coming to understand the profound secret that is sheltered within the family home - it's subtle and funny and I loved it.

The EU has ordered Elon Musk to let their engineers have access to Twitter's code to prove it isn't biased and passes the EU's Laws for Freedom of Speech. He is damned either way, hand it over and Twitter will be banned. Refuse and Twitter will be banned too.

Really happy to say that I've got ACE funding for an R&D on my climate protest play, Fire Fire, at @mercurytheatre.bsky.social - in association with @hightidetheatre.bsky.social - the journey to production begins! Well, 🤞!

Looking at the chaotic events in Washington, my theory is that Elon Musk - rather than being a genius - is really the Liz Truss of American politics. But richer.

I'm researching how co-creating theatre with communities can promote social justice. Would love to connect with artists, activists and academics. I wrote a blog about starting this project, so maybe I'll stop boring my friends about it in the pub. (Probably not.) Read it here: bit.ly/JLDPhDblog

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture. The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention. Here’s how they did it... 🧵

So eventually managed to catch Perfect Days - loved how it shared the joy that can be found in the appreciation of small, natural things and the eventual realism that it’s a struggle for some to manage to get into that zone youtu.be/Iv8YO5BXCAQ?...
