Such a vibe @derbytheatre for #Welfare - brass band, community cast, dancing, bingo and some banging tubes to bring back memories of real community. We need to find it again somehow. Big up brilliant #AbiZakarian and @SarahBrigham and team.

It’s been a long time coming. Been holding this play since 2021 when I wrote it all from a messy pit of anxiety and fear and alcohol and exhaustion. I’m glad it’s going out cos I’ve wanted to say it for so long. Thank you.

We are thrilled to be co-producing (the) Woman by @JanieU with @RoyalDerngate - touring Spring 2025! 🗓️ This #BruntwoodPrize shortlisted play explores how women can keep hold of their identities after becoming mothers. More👉 newperspectives.co.uk/the-woman-spri… @bruntwoodprize @Angharadawen

Well it’s that time of year again… when I’m not going to #edfringe - because I don’t have a spare grand 😂

We are encouraged to see the government commit to closing down Bibby Stockholm, a heinous policy that systematically violated the rights of refugees living in prison-like conditions. 1/3 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Two inspirational women who care deeply about community and how much art can unite and fulfil us. Thanks @juliehes for emboldening this reluctant pessimist. I bloody needed that.

What a bloody inspiration @juliehes was today @derbytheatre it was brilliant to hear an artist with genuine politics who understands the needs of cities like ours and how having producing theatres at their heart can transform lives, narratives and how a city sees itself

Yesterday morning I should have been outside No 10 reporting. More importantly, my 2 eldest sons should have arrived home after a 9 week adventure across Southeast Asia. But they didn’t…..(thread)

I am here working on a new play and ready to chat (hoping someone will unlock a golden nugget in my brain). See you soon x

Playwriting can be lonely as fuck. It can tho, can’t it? Just you, a screen and coffee and anxiety for company. So I’m excited to be part of national #PlaywrightsFlashmob on Tues - @NPtheatre - come dahn, friends x

Nigel Farage was shouted at by a man on the street as he drove out of Clacton on the Reform UK bus! 😍😍😍 (google says it's a B&B/bar, so I'm not calling him a Clacton voter)


What beautiful words 🥹

A great honour to be part of the D-Day 80 years celebrations in Portsmouth today, reading the letter Captain Jack Lee sent to his wife and children, 3 days before he died in 1944. Helen Mirren wished me luck, I was on after the PM and performed for the King and Queen 🤯



❤️❤️ yes

Final note on a Friday - and there’s more to come from me on this - learn about RSD - Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. There’ll be people in your life suffering from it. Eg: the really brilliant ones who you can never understand why they don’t put themselves forward.



London friends this is a beautiful piece of theatre ❤️

We can’t wait to return to @RichMixLondon this weekend to share ‘Tender’ with our home crowd. Please spread the word and help us share bold, nuanced, hopeful refugee narratives with as many as possible! Link: richmix.org.uk/events/tender/



Exactly this. Brilliant.
