Wonderful performances all round!

Five years since the first lockdown. Here are the twelve monologues I wrote around that time. Filmed on their phone by twelve very fine actors. www.briancoyle.co.uk/we-will-not-...

Such a good play, I loved this. Hope it gets a revival!

Modern nature in all its glorious, fluid, ebb and flow. So glad I caught this fabulous play @bushtheatre.bsky.social !

So many good plays being written. So few theaters willing to produce new work. Why is the theater community our biggest obstacle? No risk = no innovation. #playwrightlife

Meet Milo, our resident dramaturg. He listens attentively & with calm intelligence. Costing us a bomb in raspberries, but he's worth it. #TheatreSky #Playwriting #Playwrights

Stumbling through this in my schoolboy French & it is a *revelation* comparing the two texts! #Booksky #Theatresky #Playwriting

Writers: Don’t write what you think others want. Write what you want. You are your only guaranteed audience. Might as well make your weird little heart sing. 💙📚📝 #WritingCommunity

I did an entire funding bid from scratch this morning for a suddenly announced deadline. Glad I did it, but there’s this little voice inside that says… ‘Hey! Remember? You used to be a playwright.’ #Theatresky #Playwright #Playwriting

Our first budget line, always this helpful reminder. #TheatreSky

Mum & toddler. MUM: So you’re telling me at Nursery you’re stealing someone else’s dummy, using it while you’re there, washing it and giving it back when you go home? TODDLER: Yeah. #TheatreSky #Playwriting

#playchat if you don’t surprise yourself, you’re not going to surprise your audience.

Theatre tonight! # TheatreSky

📢 Join the protest today! 🏳️‍🌈✊ As Commonwealth leaders meet the King, we’re calling out homophobia—29 of 56 nations still criminalise being LGBT+, some with life sentences or execution. 📍 QEII Conference Centre, Westminster 🕑 2:00–4:15 PM Bring your voice & passion. Let’s be heard! 🚨

One day, I’m gonna write a whole play in the language of a funding app. #playwriting #revenge

It occurred to me that #writing is the polar opposite of corporate irresponsibility and idiocy with its injunction to 'move fast and break things'... #MoveSlowAndCreateThings #ThoughtForToday #Writer #Creativity #Playwright #WritersCommunity #Scriptwriting

The idea that a monologue is easier to write than dialogue is like the idea it's easier to write a unicycle than a bicycle. #playwriting #writingcommunity

And now we are on BlueSky too! Welcome one and all. Please do give us follow and we'll give you a follow back. 😀

OK you jokers, where are my glasses?

Always, you want to focus the audience on the future. A sealed envelope. A contest. A prison cell. A secret. Weapons on the wall. Pining. A prophesy. A mystery. A deadline. An ambition. A glass of poison. A feud. A bet. A clear important goal. #playwriting #amwriting #writersky
