I love Croydon I have zero doubt that anti-fash will outnumber these pricks but the EMBARRASSMENT of it. The audacity. We sat thru hours of community consultation & steering groups to talk about this building's future. Didn't even contemplate it could come to this.
The next BAC, they promised. Croydon's version of the Southbank.
6 years later we've got a dead building, theatre co's can't afford to put work on, community groups outpriced, but AH! Farage & friends welcome! Oh great ! Actually ! Fairfield Halls wtf

pov: you've just been mentally and physically and financially ransacked by ur first fringe.
let's not insist that theatre is a training pool for working on screen. I know this is a bad faith read, but it also feels important not to make theatre become TV and film's kid sibling/ training pool to take care of. that lens really narrows the lens of what good and valuable theatre can be.
great actually
As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

In fact, something exciting might be coming tomorrow...
Thinking about this ever so much over the past year. (And improvising with it! When it says! No!). I imagine you were protecting important dreams x
I'm launching a Kickstarter to fund the print run of 'Even The Stars Will Fall'. Check the link in my bio to get notified when it goes live. #EvenTheStarsWillFall #Comics #MakeComics #IndieComics #Kickstarter

moved by this headline in so many ways. we are probably all more changing and brave than we allow ourselves to know.
Theatre cannot save us.
But it can keep something alive that the present order depends on extinguishing: the sense that another way of being together is not only imaginable, but felt.
Fight for theatre that does not provide solutions but enacts the possibility that alternatives can be rehearsed.
Catherine O’Hara on why improv is important & how deep it was in her brain -
Dude don't I've already done a nine month takeover of an abandoned surf shop in Croydon - I've had my share of ill advised sports hubs for London's southernmost borough
You haven't lived if you haven't visited Croydon's ski museum
Croydon is the Oslo of London x
Battered four swing playground equipment with a sunrise behind it. The floor is icy, reflecting the warm orange sun.

He is very nearly explicitly saying out loud at a press conference a core vulgar tenet of fascism: we are allowed to kill you if your worldview threatens our power
Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.
A group of people dressed in evening attire around a dinner table. One wears a crown.
Flo and Fleur in a hotel bed, Flo smiles at the camera and does a peace sign, Fleur looks confused and is shrugging her hands. They are in PJ's.
Friends smile around a difference dinner table, a big dish in the middle of them.
Friends piles on a sofa. The Traitors round table is being projected on the wall. It's the final!
A month full of friends piled onto sofas, making each other dinner and screaming at the telly. I love our January blues combatting Traitors rituals.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Guess How Much I Love You - a brutal wrecking of a show.
not sure how anyone is doing post show press night chatter, but I for one recommend downing a free prosecco, walking out bewildered & having a sob on the streets of Chelsea v professional v networking. Idk in what way but I've been rearranged
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.
I don't like Bromley its horrible.
All Reform councils to raise taxes despite campaign pledges
Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.
