We're delighted to be partnering again with Masterclass for their Script Socials! The next social will be on Sophie Treadwell's seminal play Machinal.

Jez Butterworth: a hero of mine. Jerusalem helped me forgive my father. The Ferryman left me desperate for more. #TheHillsOfCalifornia is a beautiful & heartbreaking work about mother, daughter, sister & performer. LOVED IT. Hope it transfers! #aplayaday pub Nick Hern Books 🎭

Artists’ Lounge Library update! Our library has grown so much already, we’re so thankful to Nick Hern Books Concord Theatricals Paines Plough Nadine Barr (She/ Her) Matthew Gabrielli for their donations 📚

After 20 years of study, my copy of The Actor & The Target finally fell apart. Some have offered to buy me a new copy but each page includes notes from years of working with actors. So I’ve reglued it for another 20 years of acting classes with my students now and beyond.

You’ll definitely want Harry McDonald’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ playtext on your bookshelf from Nick Hern Books! 📚
