Mistress Quickly and Doll Tearsheet quaffing some sack before the excellent Player Kings with Sir Ian McKellen as Falstaff - a great time had by all!

Had the absolute privilege of being backstage tonight sketching the action in ‘The Comedy About Spies’. That’s an evening that will live long in my memory. Chuffed to bits to be a teeny tiny cog in the Mischief machine! #doodleaday #lovetheatre @mischiefcomedy.bsky.social

So many memories, so many laughs and so much love. Very lucky to have all that - but wow… it’s flown by! 34 years since I first walked into that foyer… #doodleaday #lovetheatre #timeflies

Tickets for The Seagull’s officially sold-out run at the Barbican are starting at £265 on LoveTheatre — and this one is just a standard seat at the back of the stalls with no extras. I know it’s legal but someone is profiting from this and it won’t be the theatres or producers.

I went to four London theatre performances in the past four days and enjoyed all of them in different ways. #theatre #lovetheatre

So that’s a wrap on Comedy of Errors (4th time I’ve directed it!). Had such a lovely cast and crew - there’s something very special about open-air theatre. And doing it in the park where Joy has her memorial tree made it even more so. #doodleaday #loveshakespeare #lovetheatre

First time I stepped into @The_Globe, it was for Twelfth Night in 2003. The musicians were playing and I almost started crying. #LoveTheatre

Brilliantly performed and hugely entertaining. Loved it in the west end and even more second time around. #doodleaday #lovetheatre

Yesterday I saw the excellent #TheHillsOfCalifornia by Jez Butterworth - highly recommended! Absolutely amazing cast!

And #throwbacktheatre to seeing Jez Butterworth’s #TheFerryman (2017) and #TheWinterling (2006)
(programme lost 😞)

#lovetheatre 💕🎭

Theatre programmes for The Hills of California and The Ferryman, both written by Jez Butterworth and directed by Sam Mendes. Both are exactly the same square size, which is nice.

Happy #WorldTheatreDay everyone! 🎭To celebrate here’s a little image collage of just a few of the great theatre experiences I’ve enjoyed since last spring, which had incredible leading female focused performances: The Years (Almeida), The Duchess (Trafalgar), Unicorn (Garrick) #LoveTheatre 🎭

Saw Hamnet this week - I loved the Maggie O’Farrell novel & was curious how the page to stage adaptation would work… A bit mixed tbh, it’s lost something in transition (I didn’t cry! V unlike me 🤭) but it has great performances and I did enjoy it overall…
