    We’ve tested. We’ve bubbled. We’ve socially distanced, masked up, temperature checked, sat behind perspex and got through litres of anti bacterial liquid. But we’ve also rehearsed, teched and opened a show. The team @hopemilltheatr1 are astonishing. #nodaybuttoday

    It's our official opening night, and the closing night of the theatre. But the show will go on - online! Thanks to everyone at the @hopemilltheatr1 and to all the wonderful freelancers who've been a part of making this show. Something I will never forget. 📸Pamela Raith

    Gulp. First preview of ⁦@julietmusical⁩ at the ⁦@Shaftesbury1911⁩. A huge milestone for us. Dressed and ready to go, with a few first night nerves thrown in for good measure. Here we go...!

    If you choose to work in theatre it's so much more than just a job. This photograph sums up a feeling I often find hard to describe, the thing that makes it "worth it". I miss it, and not a day goes by where I don't think about when we are able to get back to it.

    Woke up with glitter in my eyes. Working on @julietmusical has been a dream job (though it’s never felt like work) and last night is one I’ll always remember. Couldn’t be prouder of all involved and thank you to all those who have come and supported us so far.

    Surely #yearsandyears will go down as a watershed moment in TV history. Utterly compelling, completely heartbreaking. Couldn’t work out why I felt so moved, then realised it’s because I’ve never seen a gay relationship as truthfully portrayed and represented. Revolutionary.

    Tonight I am grateful to all those who have advocated for the arts over these weeks and months, to those who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and to those who have listened and lit the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Somehow we’ve kept this secret for two years, over three workshops in different cities, and I can’t wait to get it out into the world. Here we go @MiriamTeakLee!

    Casting breakdown for SPRING AWAKENING is out on Spotlight but in addition we also want to hear from emerging performers aged 18-25 who might not yet have representation, and who are local to the area. Please check out goo.gl/C8Bh3r if that applies and get in touch

    Spring Awakening for spring next year. I've wanted to direct this since I started making theatre and I'm thrilled it's going to be up close at the @hopemilltheatr1.

    Thanks to @pearsoncasting for bringing together this incredible cast, and to @dujra_ for the beautiful photos. This is RENT performed by a new generation of talent. It’s the strangest of times, but we’re going to do everything we can to make something special.

    I was the guy who insisted on tracking down all the locations and seeing it for myself when I first read THE DA VINCI CODE. I was totally absorbed, page by page and cover to cover, so this is right up my street!
