"The Equity LGBT+ Committee is deeply concerned by reports of homophobic abuse. These incidents are not isolated but part of a wider, global pushback against LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. Theatre has long been a space for LGBTQ+ expression, and we must be proactive in protecting that space."

Two episodes into new German Netflix series Cassandra, and I’m hooked, but then I am a sucker for sci-fi/supernatural/psychological dramas so maybe it’s no surprise. #Cassandra #KIhorrorstory

Well, the first episode of the new Uncanny TV series was bloody terrifying. Jump scares, fascinating social history, a bit of science, maybe some ghosts, all combined in an hour of deliciously creepy storytelling. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... #UncannyCommunity #Uncanny

Average service charge for flat in England and Wales hit £2,300 last year. Service charges exceed council tax. Unchecked profiteering creating misery, leaving little to spend on essentials. People trapped, can't easily sell. Need rent controls.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

🤦‍♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding. Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates? If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

After seeing The Little Foxes on stage, I have no idea how I continued the story in my pre-teen fan fiction but I recall my story ended with Leo Hubbard’s son being broke and alone when, in fact, he probably would have ended up as an oligarch.

Wonderful to finally get to see Lillian Hellman’s classic American play The Little Foxes on stage at the Young Vic: a little dated but brilliantly brought to life through Lyndsey Turner’s direction and a superb cast including Anne-Marie Duff, Anna Madeley & Eleanor Worthington-Cox. 📸 Johan Persson

When I was a kid, I was so taken by the 1941 Bette Davis film The Little Foxes after seeing it on TV over the summer holiday that I wrote a fanfic sequel!!! I do not remember why. But for the first time I’m finally seeing Lillian Hellman’s play on a stage at the Young Vic tonight.
