You know you're committed to North East theatre when you are writing show recs from your critical care hospital bed so they'll get included in a national round up 🤣
I wrote about how being a local critic can't just be about the big shows: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/on-being-a...

Thrilled to be mentioned in this article by the always thoughtful Lyn Gardner on @livetheatre.bsky.social awards and the importance of regional criticism. www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/as-r...
Lyn Gardner: As regional theatre coverage sadly narrows, let’s hear it for the local critics

Life advice from my second favourite vampire (my favourite of course being my own!). Particularly pleased how the fabric echoes the opening credits. #interviewwiththevampire #iwtw #crosstitch

Honestly can't think of a more deserving winner. You can't overestimate the effect Ali and Alphabetti have had on the North East theatre ecosystem
Honoured beyond belief to receive this - it must be every critic's dream to have Lyn Gardner give a speech about you! What an amazing, inspiring night - congratulations to all the winners.

Press night at Northern Stage - yes I cried (again)
Never outgrowing the thrill of seeing my quote on a poster. Looking forward to seeing this again next week (if that's the right phrasing for such a hard-hitting play)
While there are some really exciting 'big' shows @livetheatre.bsky.social this year, the new programme also has some genuine 'blink-and-you'll-miss-'em' gems: traceysinclair.substack.com/p/short-run-...
