Help DE-MYS-TIFY support working-class actors We are raising money for DE-MYS-TIFY, to continue the work we do supporting actors from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Sadly, we didn't get funding for the next term of DE-MYS-TIFY 😞

Here's how you can help:

Hustle time: Last year I directed 5 studio shows, all got 4/5 star reviews across the board, 2 won awards. Currently have a 5 star show running in London…
but I need to make a mid/main stage show! I’ve been at this for over 12yrs now!

Any venues/prod companies up for a chat about future projects?

I know this will seem obvious to anyone who works in the arts or loves the arts but I genuinely think it needs saying again and again - I watched my son's secondary school xmas show last night and saw kids I've known for years shed all shyness and self consciousness to perform and it was beautiful

I really wish there was a common phrase wrapped

my top 3 would be:

- Everyone is a freak
- I’m scared of everything
- Have we met?!

Promotional image of Santi & Naz with the title in yellow. Two young South Asian women site by side. One wears hijab which she is holding across the lower part of her face. The other is holding a book and giving her friend the side-eye. They are on a brown and green background with the map of India/Pakistan etched on it. The Soho Theatre logo is in the bottom corner.

The Guardian view on 30 years of the national lottery: winners and losers | Editorial Editorial: From the Angel of the North to the Eden Project, it has transformed the UK’s cultural landscape. But public funding for the arts is still needed

"Lottery grants were intended to work in addition to public funding, not to replace it. In propping up crumbling arts infrastructure, the lottery has helped let governments off the hook. Funding for the arts should not depend on crossing our fingers." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey Bluesky!

My West End reading is a week today, alongside work by Sarah Milton, and it's Succession meets an Enemy of the People.

Look at this fantastic cast!
