Honoured to have been the casting director on this powerful film for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social 🇵🇸

“I Know” gives voice to Palestinian doctors fighting to keep healthcare alive under attack.

Told in one unflinching shot. Raw. Real. Urgent.

Totally fab to sit and chat over a lunchtime pizza with the remarkable young Darlington-born actor Owen Dagnall who I saw play Young Albert so brilliantly on tour in the NationalTheatre production of War Horse. Owen is definitely one to watch….with a very exciting future ahead!

Crikey O'Reilly! This was 29 years ago when we took over Primrose Hill (before I stopped working on cigarette campaigns of course!!). Happiest memory of that day? When 22 year old Robbie Williams rode up the hill on his BMX bike to see what we were up to and have a chat with us!!

Finally caught the phenomenal, extraordinary & brilliant actor Elizabeth Hollingshead performing in the last ever show of the immersive Storehouse…and woweeee was I happy to have done so! (Oh and shhhh...don't tell..but, whilst I was there I stole a Tweet!)

I experienced something totally utterly extraordinary - Than Hussein Clark’s MOTHER HAS ARRIVED a 6 hour performance at Corvi Mora Gallery. Lewis Blomfield is transformed by prosthetics make-up artist Aurora Beadle into an 84 yr old woman, whilst talking with Benedict Wishart all within a glass box!

Beg, steal or borrow! Just nab yerself a ticket for THE LAND OF THE LIVING at the National Theatre! Written by David Lan. Directed by Stephen Daldry. With the most mouth-watering cast imaginable! Unbelievably gorgeous staging, costumes, sound, lighting, music, choreography...it's a masterpiece!

Spent a side-splittingly funny evening (with some poignant, sharp intake of breath moments) seeing Chris England’s beautifully written The Charlie Williams Story at the White Bear Theatre. Tony Marshall perfectly embodies the comedian. Nick Denning-Read plays 30 characters brilliantly! Five stars!

Sue Odell CDG CDA @scorpioredhair.bsky.social · 29d

As well as seeing it at the National Theatre last year, yesterday I saw TILL THE STARS COME DOWN for the third time at Theatre Royal Haymarket. WHAT a show - so brilliant, funny, devastatingly sad, moving, emotional. Incredible writing by Beth Steel. The whole cast is simply totally fantabulous🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had the best fun in the superbly created working pub at Greenwich Theatre being immersed in the up-and-down lives of the publicans & other characters all portrayed by brilliant Kellie Shirley & Peter Caulfield in Jim Cartwright’s TWO. And I got to share a table with John Cannon @cdgnews.bsky.social!

Still reeling from @proforcatheatre.bsky.social's immensely powerful AT LAST @landutheatre.bsky.social. The excellent, deeply emotive cast is superbly directed by @davidbrady83.bsky.social

Thrilled to have visited @sageandjester.bsky.social's immersive show STOREHOUSE in Deptford before the run finishes on 20/09! As well as the spectacular staging, sound & lighting design, I was enthralled by Chris Agha's magnetic performance…couldn’t take my eyes off him…he’s amazing!

Desperate to leave my computer behind after a crazy work week, I impulsively bought a £15 back-of-the-stalls STANDING ticket to see BORN WITH TEETH starring Ncuti Gatwa & Edward Bluemel
Best decision ever! WHAT a production! Utterly totally brilliant! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Happy memories of my very first work place. Junior Graphic Designer at BBC Bristol - Animal Magic, Going For A Song, Take Hart (featuring Dave Sproxton & Peter Lord’s iconic Morph), Wildlife On One - back in the (g)olden days of 1979!

Thinking of the 51 gorgeous talented creative young people, (many of whom I knew), - photographers, models, make-up artists, agents - with their whole lives ahead of them who drowned when the pleasure boat Marchioness was mown down by a dredger on the Thames near Southwark Bridge 36 years ago today

Privileged to be at last night's screening of the incredibly powerful documentary 'Holloway’ followed by a superb Q&A at The Garden Cinema. Unbelievably moving to see former inmates revisiting their old cells & to comprehend the shattering childhood trauma & domestic abuse that led them to prison

Fab young actor Owen Dagnall's deeply emotional lead performance as Albert Narracott in the National Theatre production of WAR HORSE @newwimbtheatre.bsky.social was tear-jerkingly beautiful. (Hooray for my waterproof mascara!) Catch it on tour in Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Cardiff & Norwich🎭🐴❤️
