When the show closes there's an emptiness that's both glorious and sad. Like mourning a life well lived. Grateful for NORA @Hedgerow and now full of beautiful emptiness.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

there's a moment in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins play, The Comeuppance, when a character speaks to not only what they've endured in their personal life, but also what they've endured by living in the world at this time. That line landed in my core. What a world we live in (and what an amazing play).

I may not be writing much at the moment, but what an absolute joy it has been to work with this gorgeous cast @hedgerowtheatre as a foley artist. Certainly wasn't in the game plan but gratitude abounds.

Also it appears to me that the UK theatre scene is way ahead of the US theatre scene on migrating to Bluesky. Am I wrong? Please let me know. I want to follow your US theatre accounts.

My favorite show of 2024: Counting and Cracking a co-pro between Belvoir Street and The Public. Made me believe in theatre again.

Last night I watched Yael Farber's Crucible (Young Vic) on Digital Theatre and today I saw a student production of John Proctor is the villain by the extraordinary Kimberley Belflower at Bryn Mawr College. What a pairing. Such a gift.
