I love making shows about London and its ever shifting identities. Here’s one: OLD STREET by Bunny, who are Rachael Spence and Lisa Hammond.

The work is funny and tender and all the things you pray to encounter in…

I’m super delighted to have been asked to join the list of august performers doing Dear Elizabeth at the Gate. Mine’s the matinee today. Guerilla theatre, you turn up, you do it. No mess no fuss. A celebration of epistolary friendship, poetry, Lowell and Bishop, platonic love, other love, encounter, distance, connection. I’m doing it…
