You know you're committed to North East theatre when you are writing show recs from your critical care hospital bed so they'll get included in a national round up 🤣

Life advice from my second favourite vampire (my favourite of course being my own!). Particularly pleased how the fabric echoes the opening credits. #interviewwiththevampire #iwtw #crosstitch

Honestly can't think of a more deserving winner. You can't overestimate the effect Ali and Alphabetti have had on the North East theatre ecosystem

Tracey Sinclair @traceysinclair.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Honoured beyond belief to receive this - it must be every critic's dream to have Lyn Gardner give a speech about you! What an amazing, inspiring night - congratulations to all the winners.

Never outgrowing the thrill of seeing my quote on a poster. Looking forward to seeing this again next week (if that's the right phrasing for such a hard-hitting play)

Hasbian @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social was a huge amount of fun (though it did make me feel 100 years old). Especial props for making it so accessible.
