So chuffed to hear Maxine Peake is nominated for ‘Best Performer’ by @WhatsOnStage awards - for the title role in my play “The Last Stand of Mrs Mary Whitehouse.” It really was a phenomenal performance. @NottmPlayhouse

Alanis Morissette by Jake Wild Hall is a sprawling, tender, and formally inventive collection that weaves fatherhood, friendship, grief, and masculinity into a shifting, polyphonic tapestry. brokensleepbooks.com/product…
Sky-blue, textured background scattered with colourful confetti (purple, yellow, white, green); a pale blue title band at the top left reads “Alanis Morissette” in bold black with “Jake Wild Hall” beneath in purple; “Broken Sleep Books” appears small in green at the bottom left.

‘The Last Stand of Mrs Mary Whitehouse’ starts tomorrow at ⁦@NottmPlayhouse. For a sense of the play, here’s my interview with Mark Lawson (I can hear Mary Whitehouse in my head, saying “of course it’s in the Guardian, that awful newspaper”) theguardian.com/stage/2025/s…
