One of those opening nights where play & performances sing. A remarkable piece of our history, delivered flawlessly within the very stones it sprang from. Only a month to see it and not to be missed.

Couldn’t be prouder of the talents brought together by Gate Theatre for this extraordinary production in and about my hometown #Dublin

Privileged to watch premiere at Gate Theatre Dublin of Emma Donoghue's stunning Pull of the Stars, about flu and childbirth, love and loss, repression and revolution, in October 1918. Difficult issues portrayed seamlessly on stage with vivid brilliance. Well done Gate Theatre

Yes! Why is it that certain bits of each book (speaking for myself here) never get improved over draft after draft, they just linger like undigested lumps of fibre?

Excited that Gateways and Fighting Words are teaming up for a project based on the Gate Theatre production of 'The Pull of the Stars' A group of young female writers will create and present their individual responses to the show over the coming weeks. #ThePulloftheStars

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Word of the day is ‘fling-brand’ (17th century): one who takes pleasure in breeding dissent and argument, purely for the sake of it.

My 1918 pandemic novel #ThePulloftheStars is going for a song ($2.99) on Kindle today if you're interested amazon.com/Pull-Stars-Nov…

Given my love of Dublin and librarians, there’s no shortlist I’d be more honoured to find myself on than this one.

This genius substituted ‘erectile dysfunction’ for ‘menopause’ in the intro to that new Lancet editorial and I’m howling.
