Shouts and Murmurs - November 19, 2024 I, too, will no longer be posting on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Plus: some more stuff about theatre.

All in today's Shouts and Murmurs. Read/subscribe: thecrushbar.substack.com/p/shouts-and...

My first post on blue-lsky...just finished a production with 29 10-25 year olds, Guinea Pig. A joyous, thoughtful, moving and affirming project. The piece posed the question "should mobile phones be banned for young people under 16" Lots of discussion from audience and performers alike!
