Charlie Josephine's powerful I, Joan is now available for amateur licensing. Joan of Arc rebels against the world's expectations, questions the gender binary.

‘I forgot I was blaspheming a saint!’ – Charlie Josephine on writing a non-binary Joan of Arc | Theatre | The Guardian
Feel sad, just want Dream back 😔
👋 Last week we said goodbye to
#AMidsummerNightsDream
with a joyous last performance under the stars.
⭕️ Thank you to everyone who joined us to witness their magic on the Globe Theatre stage.
hello. this is my tiny lil play called socks that i wrote for college.
i was supposed to perform it on stage this week which would’ve been very scary but instead had to film it in the shed and so am doing this scary thing instead.
watch it if you like

'I am burning, I am burning with possibility!'
Nothing but love for our incredible I, Joan Company who have lit a fire inside our wooden 'O' and shown that anything is possible. Here's to keeping that flame burning bright.

any non-binary pals / creatives who have day jobs (particularly public facing ones) - can we chat? whether you’re out at work or not, any experiences helpful. head and heart a bit tired from misgendering & closeting etc and would looooove to chat to anyone who might get it !
enormous congratulations to all the olivier noms today! SO much love to the legends
@The_Globe
for their joyous work, and all my beautiful pals, and all those telling queer stories loudly & proudly ⭐️🫶👏
this morning i had to watch my granny’s funeral on a webcam, as we couldn’t safely travel to scotland to be there for the service.
no life should be mourned or celebrated that way.
this virus is awful. please don’t feed it.

The Olivier Awards has said it is to launch a review of its gendered categories, following concerns raised about the exclusion of non-binary performers

it’s sexy and queer and shakespeare and what more could you want really
let’s puck it up baby xxxxxx
Trans cowboys and a queer Joan of Arc are just some of the LGBTQIA+ characters gracing a stage near you.
But what is it really like for the performers and creatives pushing the envelope of queer representation in theatre? 🎭
In 2023, representation and queer storytelling has evolved in ways that our queer elders could never have imagined.
So, how did we get here, and what's next? 🌈
One week to go until our Summer 2023 season begins ☀️ (Huzzah!)
And to celebrate, we're giving away two seated tickets to our season opener,

@rwcmdacting
i don’t agree with lots of faye’s behaviour, but it is upsetting to see how the producers are so clearly exploiting unresolved trauma & communication issues to get a big reaction for views. like i don’t wanna see that i wanna see her have a nice chat with a therapist

@painesplough
- roundabout is where to be
->
said it once and will definitely say it again - caring about mental health means also actually caring about mental ILLNESS and the complex, individual, frequently debilitating reality of it
some of you like ‘ew depressed people don’t shower everyday?’ & i remember in the depths of my depression i couldn’t get myself to stand up & i don’t mean that metaphorically i mean i didn’t have the will to live so i could stand i was just lying in bed for days waiting to die

If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
