This is devastating news! Jess has made an incredible contribution to the sector, both as an artist and as an activist and advocate, and I have spoken to many disabled artists who speak of her as a major inspiration for their own careers. I hope a suitable resolution can be found asap.

We all need to get around, but in the UK many disabled people like us are blocked from travelling because of large gaps and steps between the train and the platform. Level boarding solves that issue, so stations are more accessible to everyone - accessibility should be standard.

I found Bottoms to be a blend of punchy choreography and quietly comic moments of reflection, with a completely unexpected ending that I thought was a cherry on the cake.

A lot to enjoy with this show but what I especially enjoyed was the access introduction, playful and in keeping with the conceit of the show, but also informative and welcoming, to the whole audience, bringing everyone on to the same level. I hope this is a device we will begin to see more and more.

Trans women desperately need more visibility in UK theatre, writes actor and writer Mariah Louca 👇

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

Saw all three of these shows on Sat, in a very enjoyable afternoon. All three were excellent in their own way but Dani Heron's performance in Alright Sunshine was the stand out moment for me, a real stupefying moment of powerful delivery that was compelling, heart-breaking and enraging!

The problem with eating foraged wild garlic pesto for lunch, is smelling like foraged wild garlic in the office, on the street, on the train. Sorry everyone but it's delicious and I don't care if I smell.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

These disability benefit cuts are so fucked up. Such a small saving for the damage it will cause. And I hope they're going to make the Access to Work system more simple and increase it's budget, to account for all the additional folk they are pushing into work.

Scottish theatre folk, who are the very new directors I should be aware of? I mean very recent entrants to the industry, with or without formal training, at the stage where they've done some fringe/grassroots-level work but probably haven't yet had work with RFO/MYF orgs. Shares appreciated.
