Can we talk about the total lack of reward for skills & experience in theatre.
Been offered a London job. Rate of pay is £1.14 p/h above the London Living Wage.
I’ve been working in the same role across tens of dozens of productions for 22 YEARS. Apparently this means nothing.
Just seen the film adaptation of @MatildaMusical. It’s absolutely brilliant. Congratulations to everyone who has been involved in bringing the story from the original text to stage and now to film. It’s glorious.
My favourite film of all time. If you don’t like it we can’t be friends.
35 years ago, a little film I made called The Princess Bride was released in theaters. #asyouwish #princessbride ⚔️❤️

Spent last week working with someone who insisted on telling me about their dreams.
EVERY MORNING 🥱 but I did think of you @_DanielRyan @Rushbrook71 @deldridgewriter and the fish! X
Would it not be a good idea for everyone in full time work (40 hours a week) to earn enough money to keep a roof over their heads, food in their fridges, power to run said fridge and means of cooking aforementioned food? 1/2
Meanwhile, there are hundreds of people (many underage and with out the necessary driving license) riding illegal e-scooters all over the pavements and roads of the UK unchallenged by the Police.
It’s the last two performances of #Middle by @deldridgewriter @NationalTheatre today. So it’s only fitting that the day begins with this is breakfast. #ifyouknowyouknow or if you don’t, do yourself a favour & come find out! Mat 2.30pm & Eve 7.30pm in the Dorfman. We have AirCon❄️
It was wonderful to bump into my A Level performing Arts teacher on my way down from the control room @NationalTheatre after today’s matinee of #Middle. He was a great support when I applied for SMTT @LAMDAdrama back in 1998 so it was really nice to have him know I’m still at it.
First Preview last night. We’ve all been so excited to share the play with an audience and it really was very special to finally experience that last element that makes live performance so unique.
'Don't I have feelings or am I just the geezer?'
Maggie (@Rushbrook71) and Gary (@_DanielRyan) reach a crossroad in their marriage.
