So bonkers. Trans people HAVE equal rights as humans. And these two girls are so so dull it really doesn’t matter about their they-chatter. Nobody is listening.

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should…

This is what Islam does to your society, your country and your people. Let everyone know this.
To suggest that women who don’t present in a “traditional feminine” way are being refused access to women’s bathrooms, and then additionally blaming women for it, proves the sexism & misogyny of gender ideology & it’s most loyal supports like this idiot here. Humans can tell the…
In 1963 the Beeching report on reshaping the railways was not getting a good press, so they sent for Hancock. He was paid a stack of cash by the British Rail Board to front a publicity campaign. Covered in the 2008 documentary, Ian Hislop Goes off the Rails, now on iPlayer

Good haul this week...even aside from glorious THE PRODUCERS - an exhilarating THE CODE @swkplay , a 1921 cautionary tale of celebrity with THE TRUTH ABOUT BLAYDS @finborough and the overlong but keen LADY FROM THE SEA @_bridgetheatre . Rvs free up on theatrecat.com
As The Producers opens in triumph, top marks to Spectator weiter Ms Grant for recognizing that Trump and and Starmer are Bialystock and Bloom.... Is that not utterly perfect?
Rage, romantic regrets and real sluicing rain in THE LADY FROM THE SEA @_bridgetheatre . Theatrecat.com not entirely convinced by Ibsen-on-Ullswater but three stonking performances, two not the ones you'd expect. Rvw up.
As an online teacher,I was educating Afghan girls who are denied access to schools. Now, with the Taliban cutting the internet,even this last hope is being silenced. Cutting internet means silencing women’s voices. Please,carry our voices to the world. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
Hollywood and hypocrisy, and Tracie Bennett a storming Tallulah Bankhead... @swkplay . Couldn't have come at a more bracingly, mockingly apt moment with Trump in town. Review up, theatrecat.com
