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. #Sheffield #Snooker
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. #Yorkshire
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”.

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 ✨
