And I expect this also to be righteously strident, passionately polemical and powerfully enraging, as Neil & Rukmini tell this never-more-timely tale on stage. ⏬️ ⏬️

I'm always amazed at how set design and lighting can be used to such great effect in small-scale theatre. @townsendprod.bsky.social are brilliant at it. I've seen all their productions over the last few years and would recommend anyone to see this new show. ⏬️

I'm really looking forward to seeing this new production of We Are the Lions, Mr Manager, @raggedgore.bsky.social's play about the Grunwick strike led by Jayaben Desai some 50 years ago.

Had a fantastic weekend performing a rehearsed reading at Willesden Green Library, joined by the brilliant Park Life Singers & Kilburn State of Mind Choir. Excited to keep developing the show for its premiere at @northedinarts on 11 Oct!
