As we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay today, we have two questions for you: 1. Who are your FIVE favorite female artists of all time? 2. What is your favorite album by each of these five women (or their bands/groups)?

Thrilled that Arts Council England’s funded my company Flaming Theatre’s production of my play LULLA for a 2-week London run, directed by Martha J. Baldwin. Venue/dates announced soon. LULLA reached the Verity Bargate Award top 100 longlist in 2017. High time we staged this wild LGBTQ+ adventure!

Thrilled to be 1 of the 14 mentored writers in @painesplough.bsky.social’s Tour the Writer Festival @belgradetheatre.bsky.social on 7 March. After 2 years of script development @mercurytheatre.bsky.social, catch an extract from my play DEMONS in our showcase. 🎟️ www.belgrade.co.uk/events/tour-...

Unfathomably terrible year globally. So many people keeping things real. Love to all. Hope you get some rest.

56% funded in our first week! 🥲 Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported my non-profit project so far. If you’re able to share the Crowdfunder link or donate anything at all, I’d be massively grateful. 😘

I’m excited to launch the crowdfunder for my new queer dream play, LULLA. It’s taken 8 years of unpaid work to get to this point since it reached the Verity Bargate Award top 100 longlist. If you get a sec to read about it, share the info or donate to this non-profit project, I’d be so grateful. 🙏

So grateful to be awarded a Peggy Ramsay Foundation grant - and double the amount I requested! Huge affirmation for me about a risk-taking play I’ve believed in for many years and can finally develop for a production.

I only wish I’d had the option to be recognised as non-binary for my whole life. It would’ve made so much difference and saved me from so many toxic ‘friendships’. It’s still a struggle to deal with binary people and behaviour but I’m so glad to have partly escaped that binary trap.

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day and the first day of Non-Binary Awareness Week The day was first celebrated in 2012, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day.

Lovely community creation by @annaruthjordan.bsky.social & co again. 🥳 I wonder if we can also ripple this out online? Folk keep saying they miss Theatre/Screen Tw***er for contacts & advice, but we have Bluesky. Just need to collectively talk here more instead of Meta. But real world’s best, obvs!

Anna Jordan@annaruthjordan.bsky.social · last yr.

Playwrights! Screenwriters! Friends of playwrights and screenwriters! If you're in London on the 24th July PLEASE join us for a #SupportPlaywrightsSummerSocial at Soho Theatre Walthamstow. Pls share.

So annoyed Theatre & Film Tw***er hasn’t migrated here and still hangs out on Meta. Thought the whole point was to go somewhere more progressive but all the main industry action’s still on Insta. 🫠

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

Not gonna trust anyone who gives PLAINCLOTHES less than 5 stars. Blown away by the BAFTA screening tonight.

Thrilled to continue developing a play that means so much to me in Year 3 of Tour the Writer with the incredible support of @painesplough.bsky.social & @mercurytheatre.bsky.social. Year 2 was a blast with my Mercury writers gang. Looking forward to more fun leading up to our showcase next year. 🙏

Another spellbinding Patrick Wolf show. Tears of laughter when he called that tech-wrecked old Astoria part of London “Dubai”. And in full tears at the beauty and grief and genius on display.
