Not sure what to do with socials. When X isn't filling my feed with poison, I do enjoy seeing what ya'll are up to. Should I head to Bluesky or is it time to call it quits for now?. For the time being, you can still find me on Insta @tdwright1 before this place implodes.

Never mind the countless table readings, scratch nights, grant forms, career clinics, workshops, pitch meetings, Q&A’s, fundraisers, cafe sessions, phone calls, near misses and downright detours. @RikkiBB y’know! . Forever grateful x.

Since then we’ve brought to life five new plays, one remount & three original short films. Rikki has offered his priceless dramaturgy to all of these pieces, directed four productions (only stepping aside to allow me a go) and I even convinced him to star in one of my shorts 🤩.

Five year throwback to the opening of ‘My Dad’s Gap Year’ with Rikki at the Park Theatre. Feels like both yesterday and exactly half a decade ago…
