There’s this almost intoxicating tension Crucible Theatre between the audience & the people on stage.

It’s unique to this room.

You can’t replicate it.

That’s why it’s the spiritual home of snooker, and the most electrifying theatre in the world.

Me and the 9-year-old had a superb trip to National Coal Mining Museum yesterday. You go 140m down into an actual coal mine, in a rattling cage, and the guides are ex-miners. It’s bloody amazing.

The loveliest polling station of my voting life so far: Nether Edge Bowling Club. The bar was closed, but otherwise a cracking experience all round.

I’m sad Chris Sansom has died. York Theatre Royal he let us transform ‘Sovereign’ into a play by Mike Kenny, dir. by Juliet Forster, Mingyu Lin & John R. Wilkinson.
He didn’t need to let us adapt his book.
But he was “a good man in trying times”.

This was the night this famous old tournament burst right back into life and reminded us all of its sheer grandeur. Brilliant World Championship theatre at a timelessly special venue. Glorious stuff.

I worry that I have hyped this show up far too much in my head

- rural ✅ 🏡
- early football ✅
- the 16th century ✅
- Live Theatre
- the North/South divide ✅

I’m proper excited to see it.

I’ve had the best few days on my trainee producer placement at Crucible Theatre and have felt so so welcomed by everyone. Thank you so much to Bradford Producing Hub for the opportunity through their PROPEL programme. What a game changer - here’s to the next 6 months ✨

On a per person basis it’s considerably worse than the headline figures. This was a period of rapid population growth. On a per person basis GDP has been falling consistently for two years.

Not sure calling this a “mild” or “technical” recession quite gets at the scale.
