Saw Mamma Mia on stage for the first time this week and
1. Very impressed with how faithfully they stuck to it when they made the film
2. Key themes shone even brighter on stage
If any drama schools want to stage it soon, let me know because I'd love to take it on

2026 CAREER GOALS
I'm more excited about Shakespeare than ever, so I'd really love to jump into his work in some way this year.
I would also love to work in a drama school, as a director or facilitator.
