There’s an eclectic mix of pictures on the walls of my house. Like many people, my home is my life writ large and among the mish-mash of Brontë quotes and self-deprecating swipes at my Northern heritage is a signed poster of the 1995 Manchester Royal Exchange production of Miss Julie.

Theatre Review: Handbagged, Oldham Coliseum
Well, that was odd. A comedy about Margaret Thatcher and the Queen and it’s very funny. Who’d have thought it?
