Appalled and disappointed. The new advisory committee on women and women’s stories in the national cultural collections. No deaf women. No disabled women. No Traveller women. Respect & recognition doesn’t apply to us. Our histories are rich and dynamic when it comes to surviving.

Rehearsals begin for tonight’s 40th birthday celebrations with Rough Magic.

‘Tears’ from their production of Phaedra.

Sung by Susannah DeWrixon, Cathal Synnott on keyboards and Ellen Cranitch on flute.

Composed by Ellen and Hilary Fannin wrote the lyrics

Unsurprisingly The Wren, The Wren is another masterpiece - the new novel from Anne Enright is out in Sep from ⁦Jonathan Cape⁩ and is so fresh, clever, empathic, stylish, funny - Anne is peerless and frankly makes me want to just throw my laptop into the sea! It’s SO good!
