Simon Harris @simonantharris.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Don't miss out on the run of Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond at Grand Theatre this and next week. The Grand Ambition team are knocking it out the park again. This is funny, heartbreaking and powerful theatre with its finger right on the pulse. Top performances all round. 111

Reposted by Simon HarrisAliki Chapple @commonmugwort.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The thing with theatre is you can’t really expect it to become self-funding. You have to think it’s worth funding indefinitely; it’s not a startup, it’s not going to grow up some day and make money. Theatre doesn’t make money. It makes experiences, connections, memories, community, it makes artists. 23814

Rayner quipped back: “The Marriage of Figaro is the story of a working-class woman who gets the better of a privileged but dim-witted villain.” 1916
