Thankyou Stellar Quines disaster plan, all you fine actors and everyone who came to hear Ashtar Theatre 's #GazaMonologues at The Lyceum. Hearing powerful testimony, giving voice to sorrow and hope, taking a stand in solidarity, inspired by love and anger. Proud of you.

I'm the same age as Trainspotting and it was the greatest gift getting to play Renton at 25. Reading the book like the bible during rehearsals and performing to packed Scottish audiences, including some first time theatre goers. A once in a life time gig. HB to this glorious work
