Delighted to read this review of 'An Arbitrary Light Bulb' in the Sunday Times by @MrRavoon Graeme Richardson. I was particularly pleased with the phrase about 'accessible complexity', paradox being a theme of the book and of life in contrary Leeds, a via negativa less-travelled.

Inflated book prices from the names May work for online giants, supermarkets and high street retailers. But for Indie bookshops they pose a massive problem! Indies curate differently, they have to & without that we would simply not be here! @thebookseller

Honestly, @redladder never fail to deliver. #Sanctuary is absolutely of the moment. Raw, powerful, emotional - yes, I cried. Well done to the professional cast and the fantastic chorus from @CAPACOLLEGE. If you get chance please go and see this as it tours.
⛪️Sanctuary⛪️ Sanctuary is a brand-new musical, with @trwakefield & @CAPACOLLEGE, that welcomes us in & asks the question: do we want safety & freedom for only ourselves, or for us all? One more chance to catch it @trwakefield before it goes on tour!👇 https://t.co/dcvLTfTCrn
