Among the many highly specific theatre-related risk assessment notes I've encountered, I particularly like this one from #LiberationSquares rehearsals today: "Risk of accidentally throwing the Twix out into the audience."

YES PLEASE. SOLD. Tandem I could not be more up for this premise.

They're in the house!! #Liberationsquares cast have hit Nottingham this week, it's getting real now. 1st preview a week tomorrow Fifth Word @Nottinghamplayhouse #theatre #coffee

In Derby for a few days and seized chance to see Minority Report The Rep which was visually stunning & all round excellent. We'll be back there soon with #LiberationSquares; and proud to cross touring paths with Tara Theatre's Silence, also feat. the words of @sonalidb.bluesky.social, [email protected]!

NOTTINGHAM! #LiberationSquares final performances today @nottmplayhouse and it's been a ride. We'll miss the amazing Nott aufiences! Staight on to The North Wall Oxford Tues-Weds, then Brixton House 2-11 May

Proud of my local Brixton House Saw Liberation Squares tonight. Charming, funny, important. Performances full of energy, joy and intent. Enjoyed it so much more than the slicker, showier Big Show I saw last night. And the audience inside looked like the London outside. Big up.

Ah, Grantium. Funding application portal of dreams. Used to be hidden leeway- if it said you had eg. 1500 characters you actually had 1800. Golden days. Now it's bang on 1500. Except it's not. It's like 1472.84 characters. Why??? Destroying our sanity one ampersand at a time...

Shout out to Gwyneth Keyworth who plays Becky in #LostBoysandFairies. In one extended scene she gives a towering, blistering, broken-hearted beautiful performance that knocked me sideways in a show that had already knocked me sideways over & over again. BBC iPlayer

It’s get-in Arcola Theatre for 2023 #PapatangoPrize winner SOME DEMON by Laura Waldren. As we open this world premiere by a debut writer, we thought it might be useful to be transparent about what this show takes. The £££, the timeline, the risks, all of it. So, here goes...

Was great to be one of the writers at last night's Drama at the Depot, what a lovely crowd, lot of laughter & solstice vibes in a very cosy room. Thanks to my fab actors Philip Kingscott Kirsten Maguire, & director Sophie Good

What a brilliant day with Playwrights' Studio, Scotland at Beacon Arts Centre getting to hear actors read my play and talk it through & discuss climate activism, family ties and much more with them and the unparalleled Douglas Maxwell. Fresh sea wind & dolphin sightings. Cobwebs are blasted.

We've unpacked the van, caught up on washing and rested up after an incredible tour of #LiberationSquares.What a privilege it was to share this urgent story with audiences across the country. 13 weeks, 8 venues, 41 performances and over 30 artists! 🧵 1/4

#Edinburgh playwrights have option of joining the #PlaywrightsFlashmob at Lyceum or Trav. I do slightly wonder if the groups should intermingle/cross back and forth... or combine for a spontaneous dance on Charlotte St.. Yes I KNOW that's not the point

Rachel’s picks include: Higgledy Piggledy Productions Black Bright Theatre Company RJ Hunter (they/she) *OFFLINE* Elastic Fantastic Theatre A Giant on the Bridge Elisabeth Flett Stellar Quines Pretty Knickers Scissor Kick Ellie Keel Zoë 🪼 Bullock The Thelmas Charlotte Anne-Tilley Megan Prescott Tending: a verbatim play

Hi Annie Lowry Thomas, does After Party come to Edinburgh this autumn or only doing Glasgow? x

An intense 4 sjows in a row at #Roundabout @Painesplough Summerhall tonight, wish me luck. Especially looking forward to Playfight from Emma Callander & Theatre Uncut, looks fab

That's our final lifeline, gone. No other fund of that scale exists for artists to make their own work. Orgs are already stretched, so we got good at doing it ourselves. And now we can't even do that. Creative Scotland Scottish Government creativescotland.com/news-stories/l…

Cairn will rally with Equity ScotSocPlaywrights & other arts organisations at Holyrood on Thu 5th September, 12:30pm. Funds have been committed by Scottish Government on multiple occasions but have not been delivered. Enough is enough #NoArtWithoutArtists megaphone.org.uk/events/stop-th…

Extremely proud to be part of this. A truly special FREE development opportunity incl. 10 months of workshops & support and a professional showcase of your work. A much-needed chance for emerging East Midlands writers to progress their work, be visible and be supported
