'Deeply heartbreaking and soaringly uplifting, reminding us to live fully and always to progress. It leaves you panting, exhausted but grateful for every gulp of air and determined to make them count' @Gabrielwilding1 Ends 1 March @arcolatheatre

Breathing: involuntary, critical, and often taken for granted. Diane Samuel’s premiere starts with the familiar in-and-out heaving of meditation. Gonging

And get this for a fun fact! Baby Bob Mackie!!
Fun fact: the twin suits and Judy’s “Liza” gown were some of Bob Mackie’s earliest designs. His first job on TV was as a costume assistant on Judy’s show, where his work would be worn onscreen for the first time— launching his historic career designing for Carol Burnett and Cher.

This has brought me so much joy to watch this evening!
Cannot stress enough how mindbogglingly insane it is that Liza started her career like THIS and then was able to carve out a career so iconic in her own right that most people nowadays don’t even know that she and Judy are even related, let alone the loves of each other’s lives.

This article is so well articulated, well worth a read & a good think over
Just leaving this here because this level of debate feels quite absent from the British theatre mainstream. That’s not to say I agree with everything Louis writes, but that it’s refreshing to be able to have a debate of ideas rather than one of truths https://t.co/lNPlTOpn24

It is pretty hard to post this - I have not done so before although I kept it. But it needs to be posted because Susan Hall is the @Conservatives candidate for Mayor of London and people need to know what she is.

IdeasTap - gone Old Vic New Voices/24 hr Plays - gone OV12 - gone VAULT - gone EdFringe - priced out ACE - tiny success rate so what now
It is with immense sadness that we announce the closure of VAULT Festival and the cancellation of plans for our new London home, after failing to secure the funding required to continue. 🧵 1/8

Freelancers do not get laid off or made redundant, instead they simply cease to get work. #FreelancersMakeTheatreWork
