Really pleased to have my writing published by @guardian today ☺️ In 1924, cinema was hailed as an agent of world peace. Has it failed? https://t.co/knvCJvS1r5

A century ago, the new artform was welcomed as an harbinger of universal harmony. Although it’s been pressed into service for darker aims since, some of that utopian spirit survives

My latest piece for Observer is ready to read. I wrote about art that inspires activism - something we desperately need right now (when do we not?)
As a testament to one of Britain’s most important artists, the exhibition “Archive of Dissent” is a success; as a call to action, less so.

I am about to start my MA at LAMDA. As an actor over 25, I am not eligible for most scholarships and funds - meaning drama school is going to cost me… a lot. Will you donate £10 to help me pay for my first term of fees? https://t.co/sIBNYdqPi7

You can read my latest article here - I write about why new UK laws have made it harder to protest and why we should all be concerned at losing our rights to dissent in a democratic society
Did you know that the five @JustStop_Oil activists who got sentenced last week were given the longest sentence in British history for non-violent protest? Henry Robert’s writes about why this clampdown on protest should alarm us all. 🧵⛓️💥⬇️

The draconian policing of protests and jailing of activists should alarm all of us. I wrote about the sentencing of five Just Stop Oil activists, the need for civil disobedience and how we are losing our rights to protest for @shado_mag 👇 https://t.co/4gMXuBXXb6

What does the arrest of five Just Stop Oil protestors tell us about the future of non-violent civil disobedience in the UK?
