You know you're committed to North East theatre when you are writing show recs from your critical care hospital bed so they'll get included in a national round up 🤣

Had a bit of a spirally day today so knocked out a quick rewatch stitch #911 #911abc #crosstitch

I wrote about how being a local critic can't just be about the big shows: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/on-being-a...

Thrilled to be mentioned in this article by the always thoughtful Lyn Gardner on @livetheatre.bsky.social awards and the importance of regional criticism. www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/as-r...

Life advice from my second favourite vampire (my favourite of course being my own!). Particularly pleased how the fabric echoes the opening credits. #interviewwiththevampire #iwtw #crosstitch

Last night was a very special night as we held our second North East Playwriting Award! Find out more about all the winners in this news story tinyurl.com/3euj4p4h

I loved Penguin so am very excited that this means we'll get to see more of Hamzeh's work!

We are thrilled to award Ukrainian theatre makers Ivanna Nitsak and Volodymyr Piterov the Spirit of the North East Award for their play ‘Silence’. Congratulations!

We have joint winners for the Under 26 North East Playwriting Award: Ben Gettins for ‘Fiddle’ & Abby J. Walker for ‘The Hanging Room’ Many congratulations to you both!

Honestly can't think of a more deserving winner. You can't overestimate the effect Ali and Alphabetti have had on the North East theatre ecosystem

Honoured beyond belief to receive this - it must be every critic's dream to have Lyn Gardner give a speech about you! What an amazing, inspiring night - congratulations to all the winners.

Review of I, Daniel Blake: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/i-daniel-b...

Press night at Northern Stage - yes I cried (again)

Never outgrowing the thrill of seeing my quote on a poster. Looking forward to seeing this again next week (if that's the right phrasing for such a hard-hitting play)

While there are some really exciting 'big' shows @livetheatre.bsky.social this year, the new programme also has some genuine 'blink-and-you'll-miss-'em' gems: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/short-run-...

Press night @livetheatre.bsky.social - review to follow but I did like how this tackled important, topical themes and had some super fun moments (I won't spoil my favourite!)

Super excited to be at my first Northern Stage press night in ages for this gorgeous looking production

Spooky season round up of my favourite vampires - and yes, it includes #iwtv because you should all be watching it: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/halloween-...

Hasbian @alphabettitheatre.bsky.social was a huge amount of fun (though it did make me feel 100 years old). Especial props for making it so accessible.
