Great news for the companies and artists who have had to wait for money owed for 2024 Fringe - also that the winding up order against Summerhall Management over alleged unpaid corporation tax was withdrawn before Christmas.

I always enjoy Christmas lights of #Dunbar at this time of the year. The individual components are put together with loving care and form a very random display, without any apparent masterplan to impose order onto creativity.

Enjoyed @pilot_theatre's Run, Rebel @traversetheatre last night with my friend, Lubna. This tale of an Asian family in the UK revolting against an authoritarian father featured some fine performances and made great use of an interesting and very effective stage design.

Really enjoyed @CarbonTheatre's Bright Places @traversetheatre tonight. Autobiographical play, written & performed by Rae Mainwaring with 2 other actors regularly swapping roles as they describe life with multiple sclerosis. Powerful, emotional, but also great fun, with music.1/2

Brought back memories of my own autobiographical play from Fringe 22, Red Alert - Cancer. I enjoyed this, but it might have been very different if I had seen Bright Places, before doing my play. Such a clever, beautifully produced piece of work.

I'll be @traversetheatre this evening for @CarbonTheatre's Bright Places, an autobiographical play about growing up with Multiple Sclerosis. I have a good friend, now living in Australia, with MS, so this will help me understand her situation a little better.

Enjoyed @ThatCatMacLeod's Blast Off, Starburst, this week's @PlayPiePint presentation @OranMorGlasgow today. Beautifully-written, time-bending exploration of grief and bereavement with a little astrophysics. Particularly liked the energy of Rebecca Elise as the younger Shona.
