βItβs too cold for that sort of bloody thing in #Bradford β but not in #Castleford tonight. Adelle Stripe brilliant #BlackTeethAndABrilliantSmile is a wonderful bitter suite tale of a lost working class talent. Donβt miss it. Regional theatre at its very best

Worked with the brilliant Adelle Stripe on her new author headshot and some editorial as well. It really is all about that beautiful nose.

'..it speaks to a tradition of storytelling in community spaces that is particularly strong in regional theatre, & champions vibrant marginalised voices with the candidness that epitomised Dunbar's own work.' BroadwayWorld UK on Freedom Studios #BlackTeethAndABrilliantSmile

Loved #BlackTeethAndABrilliantSmile , Freedom Studios' lively & imaginative dramatisation of Andrea Dunbar's life. The struggles she endured to be heard as a playwright still feel depressingly relevant. Here's my review wp.me/p8x7pC-2ju
This afternoon we saw #BlackTeethAndABrilliantSmile by Lisa Holdsworth @lisaholdsworth.bsky.social based on Adelle Stripe's book and it is a superb, tragic, angry, funny, fitting portrait of Andrea Dunbar, that most Bradford of writers. If you can, see it! Freedom Studios
Wonderful evening at #HOPS in Hawksworth Wood - perfect setting to see Lisa Holdsworth @lisaholdsworth.bsky.social moving and poignant #BlackTeethAndABrilliantSmile Congrats Freedom Studios @RedLadderTheatr
