Watching the dedication of cast and crew and everyone backstage to tell one story together to the best of their collective ability is a beautiful thing. As I sat watching #LifeofPi @DMTWestEnd Wyndham’s tonight I couldn’t have felt more proud. ❤️Theatre.

Saw Sylvia @oldvictheatre tonight. Kate Prince @ZooNationUK has done an amazing job. The cast led by @Beverleyknight and @SharonRoseLive are extraordinary. Very proud to be part of the team of such a fabulous show. It was a full house so get a ticket.

I saw the show for the last time last night at @DMTWestEnd Wyndhams Theatre which has been our home for over a year. It’s been a helluva year and the theatre was packed. Our last show there is on Sunday. Pi continues on its journey but thank you for coming to see us in London.

Saw My Neighbour Totoro @TheRSC @BarbicanCentre tonight. Words @tommortonsmith vision by @openspacer Wow! It is so beautiful, uplifting and witty. A gorgeous show with a fantastic cast. It’s an antidote to feeling fed-up and jaded. Full of innocence, joy and hope.

We had the regional opening of #LifeofPi @crucibletheatre last night. Cast and creatives and crew really pulled it out of the bag. It was a great show. Audience on their feet and cheering. In my head - I took a bow!
