Okay, I’m now totally confused. Is that Beatles biopic a real thing or not? Personally, I think the East 17 one could potentially have more mileage…

I’m delighted to have written a chapter on the National Theatre of Scotland @ntsonline.bsky.social for this mighty tome, The Oxford Handbook of Scottish Theatre 🎭. It’s been years in the making so huge congratulations to the editors, Randall Stevenson and Greg Walker!

This series of #DragRace is the worst yet. Too many queens. Too few eliminations. Most depressing is the contestants’ lack of originality, slavishly spouting catchphrases from the classic era, with no aesthetic references beyond Drag Race legend. Will I keep watching? Of course! To the bitter end!

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought, read, reviewed and recommended The Old Haunts in 2024, and to the bookshops, festivals and events that invited me to read. Thanks to everyone at Fairlight Books and especially the friends and family who celebrated this eventful year along with me 💝🎅🎄⛄️🥰🕺🏼❄️
