Review BroadwayWorld for AFTER THE ACT Breach Royal Court. ★★★★★ "This Section 28 verbatim musical is achingly relevant… confrontational, painfully timely, and if you will excuse the theatre criticism cliche, essential viewing.” broadwayworld.com/westend/articl…

Really enjoyed #AfterTheAct Royal Court. Telling the story of the campaign against Section 28 through the eyes of the activists involved, & the personal stories of queer people impacted. Very powerful and moving, with pertinent lessons for today. Thanks for the Q&A David Byrne!

While this looks like I might be one of the winners of our Young Playwrights Award, can reassure everyone that I was told repeatedly by Team Royal Court that I wasn't allowed to enter. Also, turns out all the winners were better writers than me anyway. Can't wait to share them.

This was truly excellent tonight - and totally sold out. Brilliant production at Brixton House, try and catch it while it’s running.
