Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

At the Lapaata Ladies screening at #BAFTA #LostLadies - it generally never ceases to amaze me how audiences ask questions that focus on the star and miss on the deeper nuances of their belief systems or the positive change they want to bring to society.

One man’s spiritual journey is about to return in 2025… after he’s posted one last TikTok.

A moving and funny play, 10 Nights is the story of one man’s journey of self-discovery, and facing the consequences of your actions.

Just out of an online discussion on challenges in touring theatre; at the end, they put divided us into breakout rooms. I was put in a breakout group that had a venue artistic director that unbooked our show after months of discussion; He saw me join the room & promptly left the room & the seminar.
