Should also say I have seen 4 productions of this play over the years and this was by far the best.

Just seen Mother Courage and her Children at the Globe. Go see it. It’s a tenner to get in. It’s properly good. That play is made for that stage. Michelle Terry and cast are great. Wrap up warm, tonight was brass monkeys.

Four places left on this workshop on writing pitch docs for TV #Screenwriters #WritingForTV www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-fo...

I went to this for the first time last year and it was FAB. You couldn't wish for a lovelier bunch of people and we didn't bitch about production companies or commissioners ONCE.

It's the PLAYWRIGHTS CHRISTMAS PARTY Wed 10th December at Royal Court @royalcourt.bsky.social Theatre Bar, London. 8pm - LATE. All playwrights and screenwriters VERY welcome, me & @jonbrittain.bsky.social would love to see you. Pls share

Been thinking a lot recently about this. I agree. I also wish companies understood that paying writers on time would lead to BETTER work from us. More relaxed, more valued, less stressed, less scrabbling around having to take on other work because we don't know when the money's coming through.

Tomorrow (Fri 24th Oct) is #PlaywrightsFlashmob 1-4pm! We don't sing and dance - we write and chat. @mogster.bsky.social and I will be hosting at @royalcourt.bsky.social The event is completely booked but we are being joined across the country ... list to follow

Tomorrow! #PlaywrightsFlashmob at lots of venues including:

A new poem of mine (gulp) is being performed at this brill night.

I've had a sneak peek at this and it's so fucking good. It comes from such a visceral place of truth and rawness but it's also really fucking funny and brilliantly written and illustrated. I love it.

Lovely community creation by @annaruthjordan.bsky.social & co again. 🥳 I wonder if we can also ripple this out online? Folk keep saying they miss Theatre/Screen Tw***er for contacts & advice, but we have Bluesky. Just need to collectively talk here more instead of Meta. But real world’s best, obvs!

Planning now for what I might be able to do to attend for an hour. Would be incredible to see this many cool people in the flesh. If you’re a writer, get on it

I am so fucking ashamed of the labour party

Can't recommend Ned's courses enough. If you're at all interested in working with young people and co-creating - you should defo go for it. Even though I'm not in that world at the moment, I found the course re-invigorated stuff for me in the plain old world of writing theatre and TV. Check it out X

Been lucky enough to do some mentoring for @littlewander.bsky.social @channel4tv.bsky.social on their Comedy Lab Scheme. Last year with @edwardeaston.bsky.social & this year with Mel Owen - both brilliantly funny & talented artists. If you're at @machcomedyfest.bsky.social check out their shows....

Lovely to hear. I wanna know which one! ;)

I'm glad alan liked it 😍
