Since Brian Jackson was young, he’s dreamed of being on the famed quiz show University Challenge. Now eighteen and heading to university, that dream has never wavered, but now Brian must reconcile it amidst his studies, new and changing friendships, the heady glow of first love, and answering that age old question: who do I […]
I’m always going to be grateful for theatre: it has helped me forge the most valuable friendships I have in my life, helped me nurture my own creativity in terms of my blog and my podcast, ensured I’ve broadened my horizons in terms of the kind of pieces I choose to see and enriched my […]
This piece is a day late, and others I admire including Shona Louise have written about it far more eloquently than I probably will, but this is important and I’m tired of being passive. I realised lately I don’t use my platform, small though it is, to help impact change, so here’s me making a […]
As a theatre fan, lockdown and the pandemic has shown me time and again how much I love and miss the arts industry. It’s where I found my tribe – friends who I share shows with, people whom I admire and love supporting. It gives me a sense of fulfilment where I’m struggling to find […]

I helped fundraise, something I’ve always wanted to do but struggled to find the right outlet due to my physical limitations, and indeed the sheer amount of logistical planning it would take given these to find […]
Ladies & Gents: I’m really proud (and a little bit terrified) to present the Sitzprobe (a rehearsal where the cast integrates with the orchestra) episode of my Wheelie Stagey Podcast! We talk about how this crazy idea came about, my favourite shows of 2019, what I’m looking forward to seeing in 2020 and much more! […]
Well, here we are: a new year and a new decade! As I did going into last year, I just wanted to take a bit of time to reflect on where I’ve been and where I want to go in 2020. 2019 was a pretty immense year for me in terms of being creative as […]
