When I see actors on the tube pawing over some audition sides my stomach lurches. You’re all so brave doing that day in day out. Good luck to all you actors who’ve got auditions today. I see you 💛

I am now a London home owner! 🎉 This has taken years. To some this may not sound like a big deal to others - unattainable. I am aware of the immense privilege -incredibly grateful & proud. When you come from the north & from no money these things feels like someone else’s life.

Honestly being freelance and trying to work around two kids childcare & make enough money to survive, let alone thrive in this industry & city is a real challenge.
I know I’m banging this drum constantly & may be annoying, but I think it’s a really broken system.

Most of theatre (dominated by the middle/upper classes) find working class communication styles too challenging. So many stories of friends/family leaving jobs/having hard experiences due to being found as “too direct” etc. Tiring.

I love NHS staff because they treated my mums cancer and she’s been clear ever since. I love NHS staff because they cared for me, brought my daughter into the world safely and saved my life last year when I caught sepsis in child birth 💙

I get to make 6 radio plays with 6 different writers developing them all from scratch. We will be telling stories of people who have/who do care for someone and have interviewed dozens of amazing people to create a public archive. What a wonderful thing.

Respect to all the director & artists who are parents or carers. Even getting to work is a win when you have huge sleep deprivation, guilt & no time to think. How can we do better for those looking after people & raising the next generation?

Actively employ womxn. Actively employ womxn with caring responsibilities and with flexibility so they can. We need to make sure we don’t lose them from our industry at this crucial time.

Female directors...question - how do you handle misogyny in the rehearsal room from actors & prod? I’ve had a fair few situations & am reflecting on how we handle these moments. If you have any examples & how you dealt (or didn’t) I’d be very keen to hear. DM if want private

Been wondering what theatre can do “when it’s back” to support bringing womxn back into the industry with confidence. Many parents have had months of childcare & no focus on self, career, skills building. They’ve lost jobs or had to leave work. It needs a conscious approach.

I remember having a meeting with him which was bizarre & unnerving & a male member of staff saying “you’re lucky it wasn’t a few years ago he would have had you on the desk”. Stop enabling men like this.
Max Stafford-Clark has spoken out for the first time about the sexual harassment allegations that led to his exit from Out of Joint and to "the collapse of my world”, in a new book in which he also discusses his plans for a new theatre company

An actor just surprised me with these. Unashamedly sharing. Us directors work hard to make actors and writers work be the best it can and that’s what drives us, but when it’s acknowledged for no particular reason is means such a lot ❤️

My greatest parenting win so far is teaching my 2 year old to keep trying.
Watching her quietly trying to build something, it falls down - she say “Oh dear. Ok. Try again.” Builds a stronger and higher tower but it falls down. Tries again. ❤️

A few years ago I had to walk out of a job as a stand to push a building in our industry to sack a male predator. After lots of complaints and traumatised women had already spoken out. Why does it have to take so much & even then it’s often acted on begrudgingly...
