Not surprised.. To stay in this career as a working class artist , I’m working 4/5 jobs , as well as creating and writing and trying to develop my own shit. Everything is a burn out sprinkled over with a ‘you must work harder’ attitude. They’ll never get it. Enough is enough.

People cannot afford to be a creative anymore. The industry is in turmoil.

STOP SAYING PEOPLE DON'T OWE EACH OTHER ANYTHING!!!

we owe each other community.
we owe each other love.
we owe each other safety.
we owe each other support.

individualism is destroying us.

FINALLY someone calling Rachel out as the 'cheeky, smiling dictator' she is.

I love this review because it's sharp, informed, and dares to really delve into Rachel as a director and an artist, and talks about her decisions and stylistic choices!

Box of Tricks are incredible at supporting Northern writers & actors. Particularly important when this industry consistently doesn't tell northern stories, or doesn't let northern artists tell them. Please support them if you can 🧡
