dear theatre, join the 20th century. in the 21st. commit fully, finally, consistently to broadcast and livestream as well as digitally native work. share the art form with the world. all of it. the conventional, unconventional, the weird, the singular.

Bye bye London, I love you with a quiet fierceness for providing theatre, queer books, chats with friends and (a small selection of) English foods that only taste nice here❣️

Happy day to find my book @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @methuendrama.bsky.social @nationaltheatre.org.uk @ntbookshop.bsky.social

Researching for + writing it @qmul.ac.uk
