A bonkers 24 hrs! From the surprise of the Panto Awards on Sunday to the West End stage last night - had an absolute hoot performing this number with Eva Von Schnippisch and Audrey Heartburn in the Phoenix Theatre for the West End fundraiser 😄 #gottagetagimmick #adacampe

Woohoo! And massive congrats to Martin from Proud Fox who BSL interpreted the whole awards ceremony 🙌 #ukpapantoawards

YOU BROUGHT A HOME NEXT TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE. THAT IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. HEAVEN HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1979 astonishing levels of Nimby

Just the three hours twisting tiny lights into tinsel pipe cleaners to create a decorative light applique style feature for a costume... only to assemble it, tack it on, and THEN realise it looks pants and take it all off. ARRRRGH.

So tantalising to find multiple national newspaper reports of the same thing happening on the London theatre scene during one week in 1874, but deeply frustrating to not be able to find the source... yet! I'm going back in 🤓

🕊️ We've interviewed 100 women about their experiences at the Greenham Women's Peace Camp. We've arranged their interviews online by region - listen to #GreenhamWomen from your part of the world here - maybe you'll find a woman you know! 👉 buff.ly/3pYqsOd

So my TikTok feed this week has been mostly a chaotic mix of politics, baby goats, pelvic floor exercises, and that marmot politely declining some cabbage… but this just popped up and I’m now crying with laughter 😂 vm.tiktok.com/ZNRVD6L6d/

Ooh this is great!

At our March show, @turlygod had declared we should quiz the audience on more GCSE set texts than just The Handmaid's Tale. Questions were duly prepared for the April show, but in a shock twist, we had too many acts on to get to it. (Us!? IMAGINE!) Also Thom was mainly in Didcot. So. HERE THEY ARE.

Today's the birthday of Imogen Holst: composer, conductor, musicologist, educator and all-round powerhouse: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imogen_.... Her extensive archive is held at the Red House (www.bpacatalogue.org/archive/HOL) and her influence is woven into much of what Britten and Pears did here.

Today I am mostly eating toast and searching for a decent picture of a female playwright from the 1920s. So far have only got her looking grumpy in a massive hat whilst sitting next to Tyrone Guthrie, or looking perturbed and not at the camera at a British Drama League event. The search continues...

A fascinating piece by Stella Butler on two Cambridge scientists who were among the first women to be elected to the Royal Society Fellowship. @royalsociety.org

I've met elderly women who had their babies stolen from them and they've never healed. How can you? It's achingly sad www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If I can work out how, I’m gonna change my phone message tone to Ira Glass from @thisamericanlife.org saying “unbeeped” - it’s a little thing but the way he says it brings me a little bit of joy.

What if, instead of being told to 'look past' someone's ...transphobia ...racism ...anti-semitism ...misogyny ...loooong history of sexual assualt ...Nazi phase we just stop giving them money & time & attention, reckoning, fairly reasonably, there are other creatives out there who aren't AWFUL.

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

Oh lawks. I’ve been happily in Comedy Club 4 Kids land today and have just emerged to - the news. 😱

New blog post in which, prompted by this quite unsettling picture of musical comedy star Gertrude Lawrence, I go on a deep dive into the KKK on the variety stage in 1923. Didn't post this yesterday in case it looked like an April Fool. It definitely isn't. www.naomipaxton.co.uk/blog/april-0...
