New Long Read I voiced for @guardian out now. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2... ‘Walking into disaster: the narcotrafficking scandal that blew up the BVI.’ #theguardian #guardianlongread

We’re off to Porto in a couple of weeks. Has anyone got any recommendations for restaurants and generally things we should be seeing/doing?! Thanks 🇵🇹 #porto

First time @ramsgatefc.bsky.social for the Kent derby with the mighty @fifc.bsky.social Freezing but wonderful as Invicta snatch an injury time winner to make it 3-2 and ensure 12 wins in a row. Southwood is a belting gaff with a 2200 Christmas attendance ensuring a good few quid raised.

‘Oh Mary’ press night. Joyous.

Loved this. ‘The get-out will begin and through the night, as we are sleeping, Bohemia and Sicily will be dismantled, packed up in trucks and shipped out, heading east on the M4 towards Oxford and next week’s audience. But for now, we are here, together on the play’s brink. Anything is possible.’

969 days since I last saw Luton win away. #COYH

When working in Exeter… A trip to the real St James Park is just wonderful. The Big Bank is the largest open terrace in the country and absolutely jumping.

Equity is pushing for a £1,000 weekly minimum for the lowest-paid workers in the West End and an agreement for five-day rehearsal weeks across three of its most significant trade agreements. 👉 www.thestage.co.uk/news/equ...

Been working with a wicked actress on an R&D the last few weeks. Phoebe Naughton Different every time.

Work this week in Cornwall.

Oakwell is a glorious wonderful old relic from a time when football was for the masses (we can relate). Proper stuff. We lost 5-0 and are the worst football team in the world. I haven’t seen us win away for 955 days. #COYH #LTFC #BFC #oakwell #oakwellstadium

It’s taken me so long to get round to watching this. Such a beautiful film. Made me grateful, scared, aware and yearn for the Orkney Islands! Saoirse Ronan utterly devastating. Stephen Dillane transformative as always. #theoutrun #saoirseronan #stephendillane

Incredible read.

This was just fantastic. Take a bow Harry Lawtey. #mrburton #richardburton

Buzzed to catch 'The Chaos That Has Been and Will no Doubt Return' by Sam Edmunds. A love story and searing epic narrative about one of the most troubled melting pots in the land. Bravo @chalklinetheatre #luton #chalklinetheatre

Fabulous morning at the Devon & Exeter Institution. Love when work takes me to these places. Combining a library, reading room, county museum and venue for public lectures. Huge thanks to the volunteers for welcoming us in. ‘What is true is safe’ inscribed on the overmantel inside.

I’m in the West Country for the next few weeks. Exeter and a bit of Cornwall. It’s been about 8 years since I last worked down here. Hit me up with any recommendations of what I should be doing/seeing/where eating etc.x #exeter #cornwall #liskeard

Anyone that knows me will tell you how much this movie means to me. This book gets in to the nitty gritty nuts and bolts of the days Michael J Fox shot episode of ‘Family Ties’ in the day and ‘Back to the Future’ at night. I get diary entries to the minute and costume fittings for goodness sake.

Loved this. ‘There I was, walking the city late at night, doing my monologues from O’Neill and Shakespeare on the dark, silent streets, usually in back of warehouses. New York gave me the cool nights and the gift of empty streets to practice on.’ #alpacino #sonnyboy

Words cannot express my admiration for @bfcdublin.bsky.social A wonderful club doing wonderful things in this world. Thanks so much for the hospitality and hopefully see you soon! #bohemiansfc #bohs #dalymountpark #dublín #lovefootballhateracism #nopassaran #forzabohemians 🇮🇪❤️✊🏻⚽️

Back in the studio for ‘F1 Generations’ by Frank Worrall. A deep dive into the worlds of Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris and George Russell. #lewishamilton #formula1 #f1 #grandprix #silverstone #landonorris #georgerussell

Finally saw a show @abbeytheatre.bsky.social Such a wonderful building. So much history Marina Carr, Catriona McLaughlin & Eileen Walsh 🇮🇪👍🏻 #abbeytheatre

In awe of playwrights. Such an unbelievably difficult skill to intertwine and fulfil 10 character arcs. Mark O Rowe has delivered ‘Reunion’ so beautifully. One of those nights when we all say what’s in our hearts. Prob shouldn’t but prob for the best. First time at the beautiful Gaiety Theatre.

Bohemians @bfcdublin.bsky.social Special place.❤️ #bohs #bohemians

Delighted that my first experience of watching a play in Dublin is ‘Poor’ by Katriona O’Sullivan @gatetheatredublin.bsky.social This famous theatre had its roof blown off by this phenomenal production. A difficult but important watch. Irish theatre at its very best.

Revenge:After the Levoyah! Managed to catch it on tour at the wicked @southstreetarts prior to going into @sohotheatre main house for a 6 week run in December. Nick Cassenbaum has written an insanely epic and hilarious 60 min adventure. This is so so good. Book up. #revengeafterthelevoyah

Ethan Hawke can write. So fucking good.

NFL at Wembley Adopted the Rams as they were booed at the top. Delighted to then watch them score touchdown after touchdown. Fascinating and bewildering game. Amazing how much I can sit and watch it now. Took me ages to get it. Excelsior! #larams #jacksonvillejaguars #nflwembley #nfluk

Tomorrow 🧡

Alright, all. Have sold a few of these over recent weeks, must have been a vibe-shift. Anyway, just letting you know they are still for sale, still a decent Christmas present option for yer Da and still donating all proceeds to @lutonfoodbank.bsky.social. 🧡 #LTFC #TTAGU medium.com/@KevinSCrowe...

Transcendent book. Incredible.

Do I like hearing Luton’s new manager talking about watching Matty Spring running around at Kenilworth as a kid? Yes. Yes I do.
