Announcing greatness as we set sail again on the sea of misogyny!

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Unbearably heavy, handled with the lightest of touches. Powerful, timely and, unfortunately, timeless. You should see this.

This was a heavy weight tonight. A trust that the simplicity of a lost cat, left behind toys and luggage held on a lap would be utterly devastating. To see the images anew, to sit in the longest applause ever was very special. War is shit.

Another Veganuary shopping vlog, this time at Sainsbury's. #Veganuary #Veganuary2025 #vegan #veganfood

Our #86eats deli style noTurkey is all sliced up and ready for #ChristmasDinner and many sandwiches, and all the shopping vlogs we planned to do are up and being viewed. Wishing you all a very merry vegan Christmas. #vegan #veganfood #veganChristmas

Some exciting post-realism work from semester one - cabaret performance with BA Musical Theatre, and a reimagined Lysistrata with L5 Acting students.

Shoppers pack Market Street, Manchester, on the last Saturday before Christmas, 19 December 1987 (Manchester Evening News).

The thing with theatre is you can’t really expect it to become self-funding. You have to think it’s worth funding indefinitely; it’s not a startup, it’s not going to grow up some day and make money. Theatre doesn’t make money. It makes experiences, connections, memories, community, it makes artists.

Thank you everyone and see you in the new year ❤️
