Jumping into our first day of R&D, beyond grateful 💕✨

Finally caught The Girls of Slender Means yesterday. Loved the book. Love this adaptation even more. Everything about it. So soft & sparkly, fun & funny, but also sharp and cutting in its contemporary resonances and timeless heartbreak. Beautifully done. Huge congrats to all

Hello Scottish theatre…

Feel free to reply or send me a DM.
