first sighting of a Maggie & Me poster in the wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning! Another night of dreams about the script. At this point of turning my memoir into a play, I’m basically a haunted 1980s fun house populated by very chatty ghosts. The past isn’t just restless - it wants to sit down and tell me *everything*. Booking an exorcism.
Congrats ! Hope to get to see it 👏🏿👏🏿🥃🥃
I was sad to hear of @AyeWrite ‘s uncertain future, pleased to hear there’s temporary funding for some events. I’ll be in Glasgow on 14th June. Also @valmcdermid @Damian_Barr @mrjamesob, many more. Here’s to a more certain future. glasgowlife.org.uk/whats-on/aye-w…
Other tall men, where do you go shopping for clothes that don’t make you look like an unmade bed or a potential Reform MP? Something that isn’t beige or shower-proof or Bergerac on a big night out?
📖 Join us for a special in conversation event with writers @Damian_Barr, @jamesleyplay & our AD @_jackiewylie on April 30th at the Mitchell Library as part of @AyeWrite's 2024 pop-up events as they explore the creation of the new stage version of #MaggieAndMe 💥🦸♂️ BOOK NOW 👇
Right now the play of Maggie & Me is coming to life. Thanks to our AMAZING Creative Team: you'll see their work but won't see them. You'll be dazzled by their sets & costumes & seduced by their visuals, lights & sounds. All produced. And directed.They are: nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/maggie-…
Maggie & Me opens in just under three weeks @TronTheatre Thanks to all you folk who have put your faith in the show-it's sold out! Some tickets available @CnauldTheatre @DundeeRep @perthTCH @EdenCourt @traversetheatre & our English stop: @RoyalDerngate nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/maggie-…
Amazon has started doing AI summaries of reader reviews. Here's the Bible: 'Customers find the Bible easy to read and convenient to open... Opinions are mixed on performance, with some finding it works well and others saying it doesn't work at all.' #books
I regret to inform my fellow failures that I finally managed a rush of words. They were dislodged by therapy and a walk in the intermittent hailstorm calling itself 'spring'. Now time for that cutlery drawer.
This article is going really well. I've put on a wash (and hung out another), done the recyling, checked on my seedlings, opened all my book post, cancelled some direct debits and had some big thoughts about the cutlery drawer. How's your writing today?
Keeping it real as an artist in London by placing my Olivier Award on the shelf opposite the wall with black mould ✌️
Decisions are made by those who show up. Today is the final day you can register to vote - and have your say on the future of our city. It only takes 2 minutes ⬇️ gov.uk/register-to-vo… #NVRD #GiveAnX #RegisterToVote
Here's a first look inside the rehearsal room for #MaggieAndMe 🦸🌈 Introducing some of the brilliant characters from Damian Barr’s dramatic past & present Gary Lamont as Big DB, Sam Angell as Wee DB, @joannethomson22 as Mary the Canary & @bethmarshall93 as... Maggie Thatcher
Doing one of my favourite things: visiting libraries. This time, I'll be talking with fab folk including @PaulEnglishhack and Chitra Ramaswamy about taking Maggie & Me from page to stage. Details here: damianbarr.com/events Pics by Kirsty Anderson.

@DavidNWriter @AyeWrite @valmcdermid @Damian_Barr @mrjamesob Just bought tickets for @mrjamesob 🥰 Also, a shout out for Paisley Book Fest @BookPaisley 25th-28th April 👍
Got my ticket for @Damian_Barr and @jamesleyplay at the Mitchell Library this April! Delighted some @AyeWrite events can go ahead, but wish that that literary events in Glasgow had more secure funding streams.
We're excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for our first selection of Aye Write pop up events taking place in 2024! 📚 Check out what’s on and get your tickets now at glasgowlife.org.uk/whats-on/aye-w…

@Damian_Barr @TronTheatre @CnauldTheatre @DundeeRep @perthTCH @EdenCourt @traversetheatre @RoyalDerngate Wow! Three weeks! I can't wait. You have put your heart and soul into this as well as blood sweat and tears....I have every confidence it will be true to you and your story! Looking forward to seeing it @TronTheatre @traversetheatre and @DundeeRep. Break a leg! X
A few thoughts. Thanks to everyone who helped make Breeding. And here's hoping we can keep making the case for accessible theatre in a hostile environment which seems primed against it right now.
I am delighted that Aye Write & Wee Write will go ahead in some form. Very grateful they've been saved. And honoured to be the first event announced - discussing Maggie & Me with cowriter @jamesleyplay and @_jackiewylie from @NTSonline Arts funding shouldn't be so uncertain.
Aye Write saved after 'unexpected' donation from Euromillions winner | The Herald @AyeWrite 📚📚📚 heraldscotland.com/news/24257816.…
Maggie & Me opens in just under three weeks @TronTheatre Thanks to all you folk who have put your faith in the show-it's sold out! Some tickets available @CnauldTheatre @DundeeRep @perthTCH @EdenCourt @traversetheatre & our English stop: @RoyalDerngate nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/maggie-…
@Damian_Barr @NTSonline A pleasure. There wasn't enough space left in my original tweet to mention that Tony Benn brought the young woman signing for the deaf forward to the middle of the stage, and that he handed her the bouquet as the audience was leaving: ie, it wasn't done for show.
And in other excellent parenting techniques, Dad came to visit yesterday to see me get an honour at my old drama school. He went back home today but left me these post it notes - only just seen them and am weeping.
