Vile + abhorrent to hear Josh Howie suggest a link between the LGBTQ+ community and child sexual abuse. This cannot go unchallenged! Please add your name to the Good Law Project complaint to Ofcom.

Excellent article by the most excellent @owencl.bsky.social. How refreshing to see a theatre genuinely engaging with this issue and their local community in a meaningful way! www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/owen...

This is wonderful news and I for one am very excited to see what the new National Theatre Wales produces! Absolutely loved seeing the #NTLive stream of Michael Sheen in Nye recently, hopefully more like that to come ☺️ #MichaelSheen #NationalTheatreWales

Happy New Year! Thought I would share this beautiful white winter's day up in Edinburgh where I'm visiting my folks. A perfect morning to round off the festive period before heading back to London!

Lovely of the National Theatre to offer Nye for free until 11 Nov! Watched last night and had a good cry 😭 Such a moving retelling of the founding of the NHS through the dreams of Nye Bevan (Michael Sheen)! Great antidote for all the doom & gloom of late! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpN-... #Theatre

Gosh, CLOSE by Lukas Dhont is heartbreaking! Such a stunningly beautiful film about young friendship, but I wasn't ready to see it fall apart so tragically 😭 An incredible watch, but be prepared! Available on BBC iPlayer (for now): bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m001zqvz/close

This is shocking! Over 90% of petrol vehicle drivers got 6/10 or less when asked 10 key true/false statements about electric vehicles. Little wonder take-up is slow when there is so much disinformation out there. i.mtr.cool/jwvildkkgy
