Fab - the misfits and renegades of the Everyman Youth Theatre, featuring Roger Hill, Ian Hart, and @GerryPoetry. What a time and place it was, making us who we are & allowing us to blossom, while somehow preserving us as misfits and renegades ❤️🧡💜

This is fantastic news. Following the retirement of the fabulous Paddy, the Pen Factory will be in safe hands with Fiona and Dom ❤️❤️.(sigh of relief heard across the city).
So very excited to let you all know The Pen Factory and it’s amazing team are now part of our group. We will be closing for a while but will let you know when we’re opening back up! .We look forward to welcoming you all up there in a few weeks.

‘luminous prose’ that makes Wild Twin ‘utterly absorbing’. Superb and utterly deserved first review of @jeffyoungwriter’s Wild Twin 👏👏👏.
A *dazzling* first review of Wild Twin @jeffyoungwriter:."An uncompromisingly honest memoir of a lost teenage soul, of adventure, rebellion. absolutely one of the best non-fiction titles of 2024".@TheNewEuropean @charlieconnelly.Out 18/09 @LittleToller.

This will be wonderful, a verbal dérive through the world of #WildTwin with two of the best literary storytellers and lyrical flâneurs. I hope @HoratioClare brings his hip flask. Get tickets while you can. @LittleToller @Sarahshugs @tabithapelly.

Always judge a book by its cover; it is, after all, what they’re for. And the cover of #WildTwin is as beautiful as what’s inside ❤️ .My proof copy has arrived! Wonderful work by @jeffyoungwriter. Thanks to @LittleToller and @tabithapelly xxx

Had a sneak preview of @jeffyoungwriter’s #WildTwin and it’s beautiful, a dream kaleidoscope of time and place. Old projector scenes flicker to reveal hilarious anecdotes, degenerates and renegades. It’s .tender and poignant and made me cry. Preorder

Such sad news. What an impact she made.
We're sorry to hear that the magical poet Jackie Hagan has passed away. Jackie’s wit and humour made her the punk unicorn at poetry gigs. No one else could capture the experiences of working class life in such strange and startling poetry. Love to her friends and family x

Oh this is exciting. Dossor did so much to set the foundations of the Everyman project, commissioning work about politics and place and collaborating with John McGrath. We still see his influence on the city’s theatre now.
An exhibition celebrating the influential @LivEveryPlay artistic director Alan Dossor opens at the Everyman today.
