Saw ‘Marriage Material’ at the Birmingham Rep—an absolutely fantastic adaptation of Sathnam Sanghera’s book. Funny, moving, and brilliantly performed. On until tomorrow (5th July). If you’re near Birmingham, don’t miss it!

To commiserate myself on having to postpone my holidays, I've booked another trip to the theatre.
I enjoyed #BirminghamRep so much when I went to see Inspector Morse (it was fabulous), I've booked #MurderAtMidnight at the Rep.
Jason Durr stars as a one-eyed gangster with Susie Blake as his mum.

Have you seen #PrimaFacie with Jodie Comer???

Caught up with it a few days ago @BirminghamRep - and it was "one of the most moving and powerful evenings I’ve ever spent in a theatre."
