Tonight is press night of Precipice (Pressipice). @timelapsetheatre.bsky.social It's both a bold formal experiment in musical theatre writing process and a rare step into speculative fiction for musical theatre. I'm extraordinarily proud of it.

Full casting has been announced for the world premiere of new musical Precipice, dir by co-creator @adamlenson.bsky.social & running at the @newdiorama.bsky.social from 11 Nov-13 Dec Actor-musicians Max Alexander-Taylor, Holly Freeman, Isabella Marshall, Melinda Orengo & Eric Stroud

A huge thank you to those who have donated to my new company's crowdfunder. We are still quite a way from reaching our hoped target so if you are able or willing to support our endeavours I would be so grateful. We are making some really cool and unique stuff and every contribution helps.

Looking forward to reopening the Lazarus #EngineRoom next week with our @immersiveartsuk.bsky.social investigation into XR tech within Shakespeare worlds by working with @adamlenson.bsky.social- standby for daily updates via our Engine Room blog www.lazarustheatrecompany.co.uk/engineroom

Hey. It’s weird to post on here asking for a favour. But I need a favour. So if you like me or like theatre or both, then have a read of this thread.

New draft. And a whole new song!

Timelapse and New Diorama Theatre present PRECIPICE 11 Nov - 13 Dec 2025 newdiorama.com/whats-on/pre...

Thanks to the brilliant Arts Depot I'm doing two more Work In Progress performances of my new solo show IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY? on 24th July. Looking forward to adding new ingredients for this one. Please join me if you can. www.artsdepot.co.uk/event/adam-l...

London Road is still one of the most extraordinary shows ever made and the fact it’s back onstage is so special. You have just over a week to catch it @nationaltheatre.org.uk so do whatever you can to get there.

Do I have friends who want to play Nightrein on PS5? I am feeling fomo.

Adam keeps it quiet because he’s mostly a director but he’s really great at sound design and composition for plays! Hire him for all your fringe needs!

Does anyone need an EdFringe Sound Designer? I have time in June/July and will be up in Edinburgh for week zero. Amongst other things I designed the sound for last year’s Fringe First winning ‘Revenge: After the Levoyah’

I have become so obsessed with Dead Outlaw from just the seven tracks they’ve released and reading every article about it that I think I need to go to New York

Such a great day working with the genius David Kantounas on his new play. Thanks to the Actors’ Lounge in Norwich and the brilliant cast.

Insane to me that Cameron Macintosh is kissing the ring like this.

Just heard someone on a podcast say about the recent west side story movie “I’m not a musicals person but I loved it”

Making a new musical @newdiorama.bsky.social

I don’t think there’s a recent musical theatre lyric that gets me more than “Those sunny afternoons you spent with me. They’ll still be happening, just somewhere in the past” Hoping that Maybe Happy Ending gets to London so I can watch it once a week.

This is very cool. Thanks so much Dr Broadribb. I look back at the pandemic and remember that feeling of being forced into a new frontier. And that has informed everything I’ve done since.

Just a reminder that musical theatre can be more than pop stars and IP

Holy moly Sinners is extraordinary. Everyone go see it in the cinema.

This Easter Weekend has been sponsored by Blue Prince. Found room 46 and now fearing I will never not be playing this game.

When theatres programme fewer shows. The ones they don’t programme are inevitably the weirder, cooler, stranger, riskier ones.

Feeling bereft at the loss of Bill Finn. A true genius and a particularly good chronicler of Jewish cultural anxiety, warmth and irony.

YES! Incredible news. New musical theatre in the UK is alive and well 🥳🔥

This is perfectly put

One more chance to see me @camdenpt.bsky.social. Tonight at 9pm

Every time I recommend a musical, I get a without-fail chorus of "I don't like musicals. Will I like this?" I DON'T KNOW, people. It's your blind spot, not mine. Maybe don't hold any single work of art to the standard of magically curing you of your distaste for an entire unbelievably rich genre?

I just found out that my book on musical theatre is one of the many many books pirated by Meta and other AI companies

Love being asked to do a day of script reading for free for an NPO

I see we are back to most new musicals being Something : The Musical I continue to not be a fan. I wrote a whole chapter of my book about this unsettling phenomenon.

Watching an administration of violent, sieg heiling christo-fascists use Jewish vernacular while enacting Nazi policies against a marginalized group is more obscene than anything I could ever draw. Hope they all get what they richly deserve. 👍

This has nothing to do with protecting Jewish people. Trump doesn’t care one bit about Jews and is using this as an opportunity to expand his fascistic government.

Hey everyone. I run a zoom book club that meets on the final Monday of every month. We read contemporary literary fiction. This month we are reading You Dreamed Of Empires which was in the New York Times top books of 2024.

MEDIEVAL MUM: Nay lad, waste not thy coin on a toy horse at hither market. Thou hast a fine carved steed awaiting thee at home! THE FINE CARVED STEED AT HOME:

Big Monday morning rejection today. For something I was perhaps wrongly a little hopeful about.

I believe it was Immanuel Kant who said “life is really just a roguelike metroidvania deck builder with soulslike elements”

I’m so excited to be part of @camdenpt.bsky.social’s spring season with two work in progress performances of my new solo show!

I’ve always loved how much Jeremy Strong seems to genuinely care so much about acting and storytelling. And how unembarrassed he is to be so deeply nerdy about craft and process. This brilliant interview only makes me like him more.

I just saw Ballet Shoes and it was absolutely incredible. As close to a perfect family show as I can imagine. It made me glad to be an artist and I’m sure will turn many of its younger audience members towards following their dreams. If you need a good laugh and a good cry, go!

Wow it is quite a sense of relief to read “those who mimic the Nazi salute even as a joke or to troll their opponents trivialise the horror of the Holocaust”. Apparently there still are some adults left.

I know why this has happened but I feel very sad for the artists who spent years making a new musical only for it to be unceremoniously cancelled right before the finish line. Of course Gaiman is awful. But so are Dahl and Wagner and they get staged every day.

If all the places people actually want to go to in London disappear? Then why would people actually want to come here?

If the only criterion for something’s success is that it’s the most financially profitable use of a space, we’re going to have a pretty shitty world. You can always make more money out of something by squeezing it differently. The question is: is that all there is?

A wonderful article about Film Noir and The Holocaust by my friend Darren Richman who refuses to get on Bluesky lwlies.com/articles/dou...

This thread & article is a reminder of the huge power of an artist using audience misconceptions of a medium as part of the art. It once again shows the power of video games to provoke, move, and hopefully change people’s minds.

The moment I saw the video I knew what it was. Anyone else is just making excuses.

Ah yes this seems very real…

alright. friends, Jews, LGBT+ people, people of colour. having done my Hour Of Terror this morning, here's my conclusion: it's going to be like this every day and they want us terrified all the time. now go and make your work and care for yourself & your people. that is a victory, every day.
