In a 🌍, an industry, where representation matters, today your girl will make history as the first woman of colour to EVER have her play on the main stage of @the_globe AND be in it! Why is this important? Because one of the last people to do this, was...Mr William Shakespeare

Over the last two weeks I've had the absolute honour of (with my actor's hat on) being in a cast @The_Globe that was made up of ⅔ #Ceebies TV presenters and so this is a thread 🧵 of what we as actors can learn from a 🌍 that is very different in many respects to ours...

You can't see my PJ's underneath but you can 👀 my sleepy eyes, as about 10 mins before this photo 📸 was taken, I was in bed asleep but I woke up and...SNOW (!) so ran out. I even bumped into @PaulHarttheatre 🧣😆 So for y'all, here's some #theatreporn of @WatermillTh in 🌨️☃️

8. These people know how to perform against noise. 🙉 Most of us complain about a mobile phone going off, sweet wrappers rustling, that kind of thing - but imagine an audience of 850+ (mostly kids) crying, cheering, chatting - and they carry on acting like nothing's going on. 🤔

Absolutely. As an actor currently rehearsing @WatermillTh , with 10 years in the 🎭 industry, I can honestly say, hand on 💛, that this little #Newbury theatre sits in the top 3 of the most wonderful places I have ever had the honour of working for. @ace_national - whaatsup? 🤷🏾‍♀️

It is difficult to understand why the wonderful @WatermillTh has had its funding cut by @ace_national . The lack of transparency in their process was debated in Parliament last week & I am calling on @ace_national to reverse their decision for this treasured local theatre.

2. They learn lines quickly. Look, I'm guilty of this one. I hate learning lines. It's boring. Like studying for GCSE Drama - none of us took it for the coursework, but the sooner it's done, the better you'll feel. 💚

Summer may be over, but there's no need to wake up when September ends as there is no shortage of exciting new shows to enjoy this month. I've pulled together 55 you can catch all over the UK this month. Which of these are you looking forward to most?
