So proud of my boy.
Still only 22, & tonight he launches his first range of athleisure wear… designed by himself!
It’s called matchr.
You can find it on instagram on the link below.
Please share if you like what you see. 🤞

I’ve written an open letter (found IN the link below) in my attempt to help #SaveSquareChapelArts (Halifax) & managed to get a group of well-known pals to back my cause. 🙌
I’d be enormously grateful if you could read the letter & repost. 🙏🏻
Many thanks x

There's only one of the accessibly-priced places available now, and once it's gone it's gone,. There are still standard-priced places available, and still time to apply for micro-funding to cover it if you can find a source of micro-funding.
Only 20 spaces max on my Small-Scale Producing for Playwrights (and Others!) workshops in Leeds this December, and only a couple accessibly-priced places left. Make sure you're ahead of the game in 2027 with the tools you need to make things happen. leonfleming.co.uk/workshops

From WGGB: Constant drip-feed of info about one BBC cut after another is seriously damaging morale across industry. We need more urgency from Gov't in its response to what is happening to our key public service broadcaster + our wider creative industries

If anyone wants to listen to my short report on the @BradfordTheatre Alhambra panto press launch, which went out on @bcbradio 's Bradford and Beyond show on Friday 16 October, you can hear it here around 47 minutes in.

I live in Harehills, and @MothinAli's actions in the disruption were to clear burning pallets from the street, work with young people to discourage damage, and in the aftermath organise a unity meeting of local residents which I attended. I'm glad the lies were rejected in court.

This is my first novella (shorter novel). Don't worry. I've only written three books that aren't screenplays. But I thought I should get them all out there at once! LOL

COURTSHIP
A mid-fungal pandemic domestic moment in time.
I'll stop now. 😎🙏 – at City of London, London
A situation has come to a head, and not in a positive way. I feel like I want some advice other than from my union, but not sure where I want that advice from cos of the specifics. I'm angry, but also quite shaken by an aspect I hadn't anticipated. (I'll probaby delete later.)
It's on! 2 day course: Small-Scale Producing for Playwrights (and Others!) Leeds city centre, 6 and 13 December 2026. Standard priced places as well as a limited number of accessibly priced places. For all the info scan the QR code on the flyer or go to leonfleming.co.uk/workshops
