So glad I got to catch Ghislaine/Gabler previews at The Coronet Theatre before it goes to Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Astounding work by Kristin Winters Bound By Theatre - a must see if you’re heading to Edinburgh next week!

Feeling so inspired by the incredible work shared today with Sphinx Theatre at Central. Can’t wait to see where these pieces go next! Thank you Catherine Alexander, Beth Flintoff & the Sphinx team for letting me be part of it

👋TfL - any idea when West Ealing station will reopen?

What a joy to be back in a rehearsal room, workshopping an incredible new play by Beth Flintoff as part of Sphinx Theatre 30, celebrating female playwrights. Can’t wait to share some of this amazing piece!

Just MAMT 2022 Central absolutely smashing it right now ✨

Had such a wonderful time singing at Mrs Riots Got Talent! on Monday - the most supportive atmosphere and such a talented bunch of grads I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with ⭐️
