Just been to brilliant panel talk, ‘It’s Just a Stage - Writing for Queer Performance’, @CoastIQlitfest. Loved Charlie Josephine’s hope for future: “I would like shit-hot theatre made with kindness and curiosity, and for the buildings to take care of the humans making the art.”
On Arthur’s Seat for the first time since my first anniversary of coming out, in August 2000. I was with cast-mates. We were on the cusp of everything. Or is that just how I remember it? A friend from that play has since died. I hadn’t expected to be emotional. But here we are.
This, by @TinCanBros, was a delight. fest-mag.com/edinburgh/thea…
In Sam Wilson, Class 8C, @maybeulikeit have gifted us the spiritual heir to Adrian Mole for today. Writer-performer James Akka is utterly hilarious as the Power Point-presenting, wannabe Head Boy making his power grab in ‘Sorry (I Broke Your Arms and Legs)’ @pleasance.
Giddy up to ‘All The Fraudulent Horse Girls’. It’s a bubble-gum pink, feverishly funny and queer-as-fuck tale of one girl’s love of horses against all odds. This fantastically imaginative show is eq-fiiine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for my imaginary publication. @CharlesQuittner @ThePleasance
#lovebeyond by @RAWMaterialArts is a moving mood poem from the POV of a deaf man’s experience of dementia. Heartfelt performances are enhanced by tremendous, sometimes disorienting sound design and a set that mirrors the painful instability of memory.
Just seen the extraordinary #sawdustsymphony @edfringe . Think Beckett meets woodwork. Circus and clowning brimming with the joy of creation but also with a darker, eerier edge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I were officially reviewing. @ZOOvenues
‘Finding is an act of faith, you once said in the woods. Should you be lost in the middle years ... the true fieres appear: able, sound, equally good.’ (Jackie Kay)
This was lovely. ‘Operation Mincemeat’ won Best New Musical at this year’s Oliviers. Some view the theatre-maker/reviewer relationship as adversarial; actually, it’s a privilege to champion talent that, like here, we’re lucky enough to witness early in people’s careers.
I will never forget the work of @NatashaTripney, @stewartwpringle, @TomWicker (among others ofc) in their valiant efforts to get people to see our early stuff, it really did change the course of our lives- you made people come see us and it gave us confidence and hope x
