. Please read this is awful. Absolutely shocked and horrified. Homophobia still exists and very very strongly.
A year ago I wrote a 15 minute piece of writing for a show that never happened because of covid. The rehearsals never started. Any actors fancy a read through of it? Hoping to get it up on its feet and on a stage. - 4 female characters, playing age 18-25 and a comedy of course!
Hope this helps someone. What a difference a year makes. Don't recognise myself. A year ago, I was stood on a bridge ready to end everything but by luck a police car drove past seconds before. You can get through and out of the darkest of places I promise.๐

Hello Twitter.
I'd love to connect and watch as many showreels as possible from actors identifying as female, with a possible playing age of 18 for a play I'm producing this year. Only actors from the North please! Drop your showreel below and I will watch them ALL. โฌ๏ธโค๏ธ

Looking to produce my next theatre adventure. Would love to hear off any North West based creatives with a story to tell. Keen to hear from underrepresented creatives especially working class women.
I worked at

Many 5:00am starts, sleepless nights and big fat noโs have been had!
Super proud to say I'll be leading a 6 week mentorship with 5 underprivileged young people based in Whythenshawe. With their work being performed in a theatre and leaving with a bursary to pay for their auditions/applications to drama school/university. Small steps...

Can I please add that the bouncer looked my brother up and down, head to toe multiple times in disgust. He's had a very hard year and it takes a lot for him to put himself out there. But he will still keep being fabulous and I'm forever proud of him for this.

It's toxic and harmful to tell actors that their everything should be acting. No they need balance, realistic goals, hobby's and interest outside of acting. It's f*cking lethal.
Iโm owed over ยฃ3200 in invoices. Thatโs three months rent. How do people avoid this as a freelancer? Itโs soul destroying and unmanageable. Late feeโs donโt seem to do the trick either!

Why are so many opportunities for just 18-25 year olds? Talent doesn't stop when you're 25 nor does the need and want to be guided , learn and given a chance...
This year has easily been the hardest year of my life. Loss of work, house and loss of contact from parents. But I've got through it , submitted my final essay for my PGCE and just found out I've got awarded the Morrell Prize by the education department for excellent teaching. ๐ฅฐ
Let's start posting about our lows, rejections ,the missed opportunities. I've applied for 11 drama jobs in the past week and heard off none. But that's ok. Because that's life and it doesn't define me. Twitter can be toxic because it's so unbalanced. Add to this to help someone!
This one wonโt shout about it.
So I will.

No. No Iโm not sorry. Sorry for taking a break in the industry to focus on my mental health and well-being. Because sometimes it can get too much and itโs perfectly ok to admit that. Take a break when you need one and re-charge. Come back stronger than ever.
I am SO proud of every single one of these actors. To get up on stage with such little prep time and to absolutely SMASH it is something else. I asked them to pull a funny face ๐โค๏ธ

I've not been able to go in the park opposite my house since my choc Labrador died. Braved it today for the first time and the amount of people asking about him was heartwarming. Knock at the door an hour later and his old best friend arrived with some flowers in his mouth๐ญ๐ญ
A good friend of mine said the industry is all about favours. Offer a helping hand when you're in the position to do so. At one point you needed that hand and you may do again. It's nice to be nice.
Hello you lovely actors. Iโve wrote showreels for friends and really enjoyed it. So I thought why not put the opportunity out there for other actors? Iโll write you a 2/3 minute showreel for ยฃ30 as an induction offer. After it will go up to ยฃ40. Original showreels- hit me up ๐ค๐ผ

Little bit fed up of theatre companies making false promises and leading artistโs on. If you suggest or tell an artist something. Stick to your word. If not, give them a bloody good explanation.
My neighbour who is a single parent just broke down to me because sheโs two months behind on her rent, hasnโt got money to put on the heating. Her son keeps asking when itโs going to get warm again. This country is an absolute joke. Then youโve got the likes of Matt H๐ ๐ ๐ก ๐ก๐ก

Nah sorry. Nothing just comes to you because you put it out to the universe and asked for it! We'd all have puppies falling into our laps if that was the case ๐ . It comes from cancelling plans , early starts, investing, hours, days, weeks and years of hard work and determination
