This is terrible news, Jess is an incredibly talented and hard working force for good in the world. Under the Tories she received the funding she needs to be able to work, but under Labour that has been taken away. Please read her post linked below

I’m profoundly sad to say that as of today, I’ll no longer be able to do my job as co-artistic director of #Touretteshero because of a recent decision by #AccessToWork to cut my support by 61%. Read & share this post, the hardest I've had to write: www.touretteshero.com/2025/05/23/a... 1/4

Dear Everyone within geographical reach and affordability of getting a ticket to see Tambo & Bones at Leeds Playhouse before it closes on Saturday, get yourself over there. And bring everyone you know.

Tambo & Bones - Leeds Playhouse

An exhilarating, funny and provocative satire, which journeys from comedy double-act, to hip-hop superstars, to activists in a future America.

Morgan Bailey is absolutely phenomenal, and I mean it, in All Blood Runs Red, which he co-created with imitating the dog. Directed by Tyrone Huggins. It’s at Leeds Playhouse again tonight, then touring.

Stories that need telling? This. #AllBloodRunsRed

If you can get yourself to Sheffield this week, Utopia Theatre’s Death And The King’s Horseman at The Crucible is not to be missed.

I can’t remember the last time I was so totally gripped by a piece of theatre. Something very special.
