We are feeling lighter than we have in a while after a beautifully supportive and productive meeting with our theatre leaders and ADs about combatting abusive behaviour and pushing for change. We are deeply grateful for their time and compassionate approach...(1/3)

The burden of trauma they’ve carried from the moment this attack happened to the pronouncement of a guilty verdict can’t be understated. It’s a heavy load that’s been carried a long time because justice, if it comes at all, takes its sweet time. 3/7 #MeToo

Vital work being done here and a must read @galdemzine Transmisogyny / transphobia is another form of patriarchal oppression. It’s thinly veiled bigotry and hatred. Real #feminism includes trans women and acknowledges there is no single universal experience of womanhood.

Today we're publishing a year-long @galdemzine investigation. I've talked to whistleblowers in the UK's violence against women sector about how rising transphobia is preventing trans women from getting help for sexual and domestic violence.

I’m so bored of productions with all male creative teams and casts. Honestly, just so, so bored. Commission women. Hire women. We’re literally everywhere, shouting very loudly, winning awards, selling out shows, getting five stars, and we’re goddamn good at our jobs. Hire. Us.

Now feels like a good time to say that I’ve stepped back from @PersistentNasty . @MsLouiseOliver and @ElaineStirrat have been doing some incredible work with the women in our industry and I couldn’t be prouder but it’s not work that I can do. Nasty till I die. Persistent, always.

Really great to see @EquityUK releasing a statement of solidarity with survivors and useful links for those who need them. We won’t stop fighting this fight till EVERYONE feels safe in our industry & indeed our world.

Our idea of a perfect #SaturdayNight is to get to the #theatre . Specifically tonight at 8pm @TronTheatre for #TheatreUncut by @BrawFox . With new plays by #women , they're exploring the theme of power from the female perspective. And we've heard rumours there'll be cake #HelloBraw
