I'm sort of...not taking for granted exactly, but sort of expecting four and five star reviews for The Boy At The Back of the Class on tour now, but reading this, I'm reminded I really shouldn't.
It's wonderful that our play is getting this reaction all over the country.

I understand why Lycett does this, but the coverage never includes the situation in newsrooms where the pressure to meet insane traffic targets (which in some places writers are sacked for slipping on) and the complete lack of resources in news leads to an over-reliance on PRs

Muslims shouldn't actually need to be flagging up the fact they are not all terrorists, in fact, that they are the victims of terror too... But here it is for those bigots who insist otherwise

I love a show where the actors have to pause because the audience is laughing so much. If you like that too, get over to New Vic Theatre for a stonking production of #OneManTwoGuvnors . The first night was an absolute blast! newvictheatre.org.uk/productions/on…

It's hard to explain how important #Defiance is - after nearly 50 years, finally this story is being told on British TV. It's shocking and painful to watch, but it happened. It's British history we should know. On now Channel 4 commissioned shaminder nahal

I feel like there's going to be a lot of catharsis for a generation of second generation Asian kids watching this. Just seeing what happened acknowledged, seeing our stories - feels like it's going to be some sort of validation.
It was hard growing up with this shit.

Oh cool, the Howard Assembly Room Opera North email!
I love that venue, I wonder what's coming up...oh.
It's me. I appear to be coming up at the Howard Assembly Room! Looks interesting...

When I was a kid, my uncle was sent to prison for stabbing someone who called him a 'p*ki' in the restaurant where he was a waiter.
The NF used to come to Keighley and try fight my dad when he was driving his bus. He sent a few of them packing.
I'm really looking forward to this.

For without hustling hard, how could the daughter of the 8th baron Latymer and granddaughter of former Telegraph editor Bill Deedes, whose family names are a bank to the wealthy and actual money, possibly have built her career?

There is a Lot of subtext here.

Bit of a surprise this.
My A Level English teacher volunteering at Harewood House when I was there yesterday.
Not gonna lie - kind of enjoyed sharing I'm now a playwright, TV writer and broadcaster.
Which is....not what my teachers would have expected me to be at this point.

Nick Ahad monique touko Dawn it Nick. I promised myself I wouldn't cry today! This is gorgeous... Gosh... Wow.

Such is the power of art.

And why everyone needs access to it. So happy so many children and parents have The Boy At The Back Of The Class as a shared memory now...🥹
