I'm on BBC Radio Devon with Suzy Bennett live at 10.40am today if anyone is free to listen. We're chatting about our new comedy night and Ciderella but we both have form for tangents: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Suzy Bennett & are starting a new comedy night 'I don't Usually Find Women Funny' as we've lost count of the number of times we've heard it & we're fed up. We put a call out for videos & was delighted when Dawn French responded! Follow us on Instagram @idonotfindwomenfunny for more updates.

Playwrights! Screenwriters! Friends of playwrights and screenwriters! If you're in London on the 24th July PLEASE join us for a #SupportPlaywrightsSummerSocial at Soho Theatre Walthamstow. Pls share.

Just leaving Beer. I'm I'm on BBC Radio Devon at around 10.40am this morning to talk about the South West Coast Path and the walk so far. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Today I made the midway marker for the South West Coast Path. 315 miles down, 315 miles to go. It's a mammoth journey but I'm taking it one day at a time, even though some days are more overwhelming than others. Thank you to everyone who has supported me & donated.

I have the best pals! I'm walking 630 miles for charity but I got injured. I'm inching on, albeit slower than I'd hoped. About 100 miles in, 530 to go!

In March 2020 I'd planned to hike the South West Coast Path; the idea of carrying everything I needed in one bag & moving forwards every day was appealing to me. The pandemic put that on hold, but today I'm heading to the start point to start the 630 mile walk on my own.

We have our last two shows for Lynn Faces today @newdiorama.bsky.social at 3pm & 7.30pm & it's pay what you can afford. Please come along if you're free or share with anyone who might be willing to take a punt on an "unhinged" show: newdiorama.com

Yesterday, we spoke at a panel for the play Lynn Faces which powerfully engages with themes of coercive control. Our Head of Policy Hannana Siddiqui discussed the structural barriers to support for Black, minoritised & migrant women, and the value of specialist community-based 'by & for' services.

Went to see this brilliance @lynn_faces @newdiorama last night and IT. IS. OUTSTANDING. Hilarious thought provoking & moving too. Followed by a panel session with @southallblacksisters, @laurachorton @rightsofwomencharity. It’s on till 1/3 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 do go see it! CW: Mentions of coercive control.

NDT's Pay What You Can Saturdays launches today! Book online from £3 to see Lynn Faces - either the 3pm or 7.30pm performance #paywhatyoucan #affordabletheatre #cheaplondon #thingstodotodayinlondon

The amazing Sarah Gosling @radiox.co.uk came to see Lynn Faces last week and spoke about it on her fantastic show. "So funny, so absurd." It's our last week, come and see us @newdiorama.bsky.social 19 minutes in: www.globalplayer.com/catchup/radi...

We've just had four beautiful 4* reviews in for Lynn Faces @newdiorama.bsky.social. I'm so delighted, pleased and proud of our team. My favourite comment through was from Sarah Gosling: "Laura, that was totally unhinged."

What an end to an incredibly special week Theatre Royal Plymouth. We played to a sold out crowd last night & it was epic. I'm delighted to have been asked to do BBC Woman's Hour tomorrow, a personal dream come true for me before we open @newdiorama.bsky.social for the next leg of the tour.

I'm delighted that Lynn Faces is a pick in the @theguardian.com today. We've honestly had the most wonderful week in Plymouth, audiences have been beautiful. We open @newdiorama.bsky.social on Tuesday for two weeks and I cannot wait to have some time in London to hang out.

We're sold out tonight! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Lynn Faces. I've been so moved by the responses and I've had an absolute ball this week! Plymouth audiences are incredible.

Plymouth friends I open my play Lynn Faces Theatre Royal tonight. The play is a real-time punk gig inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge. No knowledge of Partridge necessary! There are still tickets left & I'd love a sell out crowd if we can. theatreroyal.com/whats-on/lyn...

Thank you to the Plymouth Herald for this lovely interview about Lynn Faces today. I wanted to make a play that focused on hope, not the abuse. I am so thankful to my brilliant team & my loved ones who have been so supportive. We'd be delighted for you to join us on tour!

I can't wait to head to Norwich next week to open Lynn Faces. Sam has been such an incredible support and a champion of new work, I'm so grateful for her.

The world premiere of Carlos Acosta's Nutcracker in Havana and subsequent sold-out UK tour The award-winning Lynn Faces (by @laurachorton.bsky.social) at the Edinburgh Fringe - our co-commission with Theatre Royal Plymouth and New Diorama Theatre

Lynn Faces by @laurachorton.bsky.social (coming to NDT from 18 Feb to 1 Mar) was included in 2025 culture round ups on BBC Online & @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social - more info on the show here: newdiorama.com/whats-on/lyn...

Delighted to have Lynn Faces included here!

It's our last piece of 2024: Exeunt writers' initial round of recommendations for 2025! From the new new to transfers to Summerhall survivors, and an ode to the glorious, undersung Maureen Beattie, who can be seen in a Caryl Churchill double bill at @rxtheatre.bsky.social Feb - March! HNY, all.

In today's piece, @hollyomahony.bsky.social explores why so many British theatres have been silent on the conflict - and attends a workshop on how to talk about Palestine ‘in a way that’s meaningful and not defensive’

Two Plymouth pantos are opening today! Oh yes, they are! Best wishes and break a leg to the companies of ‘CIDERELLA’ at the Barbican Theatre, Plymouth and ‘SNOW WHITE’ at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. @laurachorton.bsky.social

I'm opening a new play tomorrow and all week I've had the most surreal, unsettling, sometimes magical, sometimes horribly dark dreams. I wake up almost everyday at 5am and can't get back to sleep. Equally terrified and excited.

I have spent a lot of time panicking lately, I'm struggling to sleep & focus. I am grateful for the journalists continuing to investigate this & for the kind words of support. Thank you. www.scotsman.com/author/brian...

I'm delighted to have been asked to be a new contributor for Exeunt. I'm so glad it's back!

"The critical conversation around theatre is at risk of going quiet, just when we need it the most" The first issue of Exeunt's brand new substack is out, feat an intro by new editor Holly Williams, and a dialogue on the state of criticism by Natasha Tripney and Alice Saville

This just continues to be absolutely grim, trying my best to keep my spirits but it's hard. I'm owed over 15k which has left me in debt while I wait, so many artists in the same boat, it feels like we have no agency: www.scotsman.com/arts-and-cul...
