Calls to cancel #loveisland are so tokenistic. Society is the bloody problem not a TV series. Another reality programme will replace it - those issues are cyclical. Deal with the root of these issues, & let’s educate people around #mentalillness #time4change

This narrative of “don’t give up - it’ll happen” is really dangerous. The percentage of people that are able to make a living in our industry is tiny. It’s an oversubscribed industry and colleges are churning out thousands more every year. Do what makes you happy

The calls for a big starry #Sondheim concert are so misplaced. You can all honour Sondheim in your own gigs etc. he was literally all about supporting new creatives. If you want to honour his memory do a starry concert of NEW writing. Celebrate the future #payitforward

When you are in a position to have a voice that people wlll listen to - you should ALWAYS use it for good. Theatre & politics - you really can’t separate them

Remembering that time the students all took the mickey out of me to express their thoughts over the @TrinityC_L debacle. When we were optimistic that we could #defyTrinity 😉

Blimey 11 years ago today (thank you FB) The first time @theMTAonline won @TheStage School of the Year award. Also the time I forgot to thank my wife in my speech 😯 Thankfully we won again 5 years later and I made amends #theMTAway #college4life

Tomorrow @theMTAonline has its 10 yr birthday party. I genuinely cannot believe how many of this lot are coming. #college4life is so much more than a # so we are in touch with all of this lot - but it’s still a humbling reality to be confronted with #Gradunion #Principal

I’ve been with my very much better half for 16 yrs today. The boys gave us the most amazing gift - they both managed 2 behave long enough 4 the family to go out for a 3 course meal. Today marks the first dessert in 6 yrs! A much more exciting anniversary to celebrate #2mums2sons

Having to explain to a college how an online term is going to work is potentially really upsetting. . . but not when they find out exactly what changes we've made. Methinks @theMTAonline students are a little bit excited now. I mean we had to do it #theMTAway didn't we? ;-)

6 yrs ago today we met son No 1 for the first time. On #lgbtadoptionweek it’s a good time to reflect on one of the best decisions of our life #foreverfamily #adoption #2mums2sons

Putting all faith in the vaccine - after 2 years of shielding and being really careful my #clinicallyvulnerable wife has just tested positive (along with my 5 year old) Clearly the particles that infected them both missed #Boris telling us that it's over

Son No 1 has decided to stop calling my wife 'mummy', so ringing around the house today we have "Ang!!" quickly followed by, "it's the tall parent, not the short one" 🤣🤣 I feel like I'm in some 2nd rate episode of Eastenders

Huge thanks for the outpouring of love and support over today's @theMTAonline announcement. It's hugely appreciated, and massively humbling. Is this a good time to mention that I'm available for work again after 12th Sept? ;-) #MD #MaestraMD #Composer #TAD

Being a Principal was such a privileged position. It meant that I got to follow the life journeys of people like this lot. They graduated in 2012 and yet they still came back for the #Gradunion #college4life means that the journey continues #proudprincipal
