At the TaPRA Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2025, the membership passed a motion proposed by a collective of members on 11 April 2025: that TaPRA act on calls by our Palestinian colleagues to participate in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Right. Book chapter on casting in contemporary theatre finished and sent off to the editors. Some of it's alright. Now I can get back to the fun things...Sam Wanamaker in Liverpool, which was also the subject of an abstract sent to @tapra.bsky.social for forthcoming conference at Warwick.
