Too many happy memories leading the marketing and comms for this project over two years. It has enabled me to do so much from launching a podcast to securing a grad job. Cannot thank those at @YorkTheatre @EngagementYTR enough. Looking forward to seeing how the festival evolves – at East Midlands, England

There will be no @TakeOverYork @YorkTheatre this year so instead lets celebrate 10 years of incredible young people who have directed, produced, programmed, marketed, managed, educated, engaged, shared and inspired us since 2009. Say hello or send us your pics and memories

For TakeOver 2019 we had @C_J_Kirkpatrick as our resident photographer. We cannot recommend his photography skills enough, not only because of their high quality (LOOK AT HOW GOOD THEY ARE) but also because of the rapid turnaround. kirkpatrick-photography.co.u…

Was suuuch a pleasure having and seeing @jessicafostekew’s Hench at @TakeOverYork. Laughed so much I spilt my pint all over myself in the front row. Also saying ‘thank you for my compliment’ has become part of my everyday language. Has to be done in that voice though.

This is in an hour and a quarter so stop what you're doing and get down to @YorkTheatre for half an hour of sadness and laughs and very very talented people giving life to something I wrote.
