After unfortunately missing the press night due to illness, I’m very grateful to The RSC for fitting me in to review ‘The Constant Wife’ tonight! ✨ Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Very proud to find out that I’ve been awarded the Roper-Hall Ophthalmology Prize this year at my medical school!

Loved attending the @gladduk.bsky.social Annual Dinner and AGM earlier this month - a fab evening celebrating 30 years of GLADD. It was an honour to present the David Harvey Award to @drjohartland.bsky.social ✨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Very pleased to have been re-elected as Co-Chair for another year!

Celebrating my birthday at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre to see what I hear is an a-maize-ing musical… it’s time for ‘Shucked’! 🌽🎭

Happy 23rd birthslay to me 💅🎂🎈

Excited for an afternoon of Sondheim and surrealism at the @nationaltheatre.org.uk for today’s matinee of ‘Here We Are’ 🎭 ✨

Back to reviewing tonight, this time at @royalcourt.bsky.social to see ‘After The Act’ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

An awesome afternoon today representing @gladduk.bsky.social , teaching @unibirmingham.bsky.social’s 3rd year MBChB students all about LGBTQ+ health and inclusivity in their professional development module 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A real pleasure to have co-presented a talking poster today at #ASGBI2025!

That’s one step closer to becoming a doctor out the way… Fourth year exams? Passed them ✅ Bring on final year!

Ready for a bloody good show tonight at the press night of ‘Titus Andronicus’ at The RSC 🩸 Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Back at the theatre tonight for The RSC’s new season, beginning with a footy-themed ‘Much Ado About Nothing’! Kick-off’s at 7.00, hoping this one scores a screamer or two! (did i get the foot-ball references right?) Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Spent the last month off social media to focus on my exams. It was utterly blissful, to be honest. No TERF bigotry in my replies. No constant spew of hate everywhere. Quite tempted to do it again…

Time for another press night - this time it’s to see The RSC’s ‘Edward II’! Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Being locked in a train carriage on the platform with alarms incessantly going off is not how I wanted to start this morning…

Shakespeare goes nautical in the RSC’s new production of ‘Hamlet’. With an immaculately assembled cast, tremendous creative risks are taken with massive payoffs in this titanic, utterly triumphant production. Read @raphaelk0hn.bsky.social’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review here: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

It’s time for The RSC’s first press night of 2025 as ‘Hamlet’ opens tonight… and it looks to be a titan of a production! Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Back in blues for surgical rotations 🔵

As I reach the end of my psychiatry rotation that I’ve been on these past few weeks, I’m feeling very proud to have been awarded an end-of-rotation commendation, as well as the creativity in psychiatry prize! On to surgery and anaesthetics next… I’m very excited!

My first press night of the year tonight at the Birmingham Hippodrome for Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake 🩰 ✨ Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Today is the start of LGBTQ+ History Month. #LGBTplusHM25 Far too many LGBTQ+ doctors and medical students still face discrimination. As your trade union, we are here to support you. THREAD

It’s 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ History Month. So reflecting on the terrible history of So-Called ‘Conversion Therapy’, I’m hoping we’ll see more Medical Schools over the next year work on making the future of medicine safer for 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ people. Very few med schools left now on the GLADD Charter… 👀

Wonderful news as North Wales Medical School at Bangor University joins the @gladduk.bsky.social Charter on So-Called LGBTQ+ ‘Conversion Therapy’ - so proud to see our project continue to flourish so successfully 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ See it here: res.cloudinary.com/gladd/image/...

Had a lovely morning at Aston Medical School, representing @gladduk.bsky.social, to deliver a lecture to their bright first-year students about LGBTQ+ Health and how to be an inclusive doctor 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Quick question: why is a British ‘queer theatre’ programming a play starring a performer who expresses anti-trans sentiments?? You’re either here for the LGBTQ+ community or you’re not. And let me tell you now, you’re not.

I mean, this gay Jew couldn’t exactly miss seeing ‘The Producers’ at the Menier Chocolate Factory, could he? ✨

If there’s one thing I do before I go back to medical school… it’s gotta be seeing ‘Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812’ again at the @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social! I just can’t get enough of this stellar show ☄️

What’s the stagiest way to spend New Year’s Eve? At the theatre of course! It’s time for the Operation Mincemeat New Year’s Eve special performance… and there’s bottomless sangria at the bar 🍷 Ready to ring in the new year with this stunning little show!

The year is almost up but my theatregoing isn’t - I couldn’t miss a chance to see Ncuti Gatwa and Sharon D Clarke in the National Theatre’s ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’! 👜

I’ve waited so many years for this day. And now, I’m seeing ‘Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812’ at the @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social 🎭 I’m ready to have my life changed ☄️

What’s the best way to spend Christmas Eve? At a panto of course! But not just any panto - I’m at the @jw3london.bsky.social Jewish Panto: Goldie Frocks and the Bear Mitzvah! ✡️🎭✨

The weather outside may be mild, but I’m at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane where it appears there’s a Tempest… starring Sigourney Weaver!

I’m now the proud owner of a new Birmingham Medical Student name badge that includes my pronouns! A small step towards inclusivity but a great one 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Good news! @gladduk.bsky.social is now here on Bluesky - give us a follow and keep up to date with all we’re doing! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to the Greener Surgery conference at @unibirmingham.bsky.social for a great day of thought-provoking discussions about how to make surgical practice more environmentally-friendly - and why this is not just a hope for the future but a necessity! 🌿😷

Excited to be at the ‘Research For Greener Surgery 2024’ conference today at the University of Birmingham to learn about the carbon impacts of surgery and how to work towards a more sustainable future! 🌿😷

A beautiful mix of humour and melancholy makes The RSC’s ‘Twelfth Night’ a total delight, with its laugh-out-loud comedy balanced well by its bittersweet undertones. Read @raphaelk0hn.bsky.social’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

Tonight it’s the Twelfth Night of December. So I’m at The RSC to see the press night of… Twelfth Night 🎄✨ Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Last week, GLADD committee members met with @amateuradam.bsky.social and Zoë Playdon, our guest judges for the GLADD Student Prize 2024 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It was an honour to read and discuss such high-quality, creative entries with such esteemed colleagues! 🤩

What’s next? Is Luigi Mangione going to be starring as ‘Jenny’ in the next run of 2:22: A Ghost Story?

The right way to spend my Thursday evening is definitely at the Old Joint Stock Theatre to see ‘Zanna, Don’t!’ 💅 Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

This year I will, once again, not be sharing my Spotify wrapped because I am, once again, deeply embarrassed x

I may be a massive theatre nerd, but I’ve never seen The Book Of Mormon. 📖 That all changes for me tonight at their first night in Birmingham 🎭✨

Wanted to love this one… but surely we’re not still giving Higgins a happy ending in ‘My Fair Lady’ in 2024? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Curve Leicester’s production of ‘My Fair Lady’: ⬇️

Ready for a loverly night at the Leicester Curve theatre at the press night of My Fair Lady! ✨ 🌺 Review to come on @allthatdazzles.bsky.social 🎭

Ok I’m holding space for Defying Gravity, what now?

Manchester I am in you again
