Great to meet Tony Phillips again as Indian Perspectives - featuring his work alongside Jasmir Creed’s paintings - prepares to open @VictoriaGallery. I think he must be one of the first artists I ever interviewed back when I was a young features writer

Beautiful production of Giselle by @ENBallet at @LiverpoolEmpire tonight. The willis were the perfect blend of grace and menace (📷Aitor Arrieta as Albrecht, Katja Khaniukova as Giselle and Precious Adams as Myrtha in Mary Skeaping's Giselle © Emily Nuttall)

Made my @northern_soul_ debut with this review of The Lieutenant of Inishmore @LivEveryPlay. It’s a website I really enjoy reading - and I got a kick out of seeing my piece among the excellent writing on there
'Cats get such a raw deal in Martin McDonagh’s bloody farce The Lieutenant of Inishmore that they’re mentioned in the show’s trigger warning.' @lcdavis sees The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Everyman Theatre, #Liverpool. https://t.co/dgmovKnXxf

Do I know anyone that could provide a small cinema or theatre (or similar style) space for filming a project at short notice? Ideally with access to a screen - bonus if able to run a laptop through a projector in situ! Please DM if you can help.

Spoiler alert!!: Not sure I fully buy into the whole scarecrow-witch romance in Wicked but I enjoyed seeing a friendship played out with as much passion and significant as a great romance
