“And this is the point for theatre-makers.

We all understand, I hope, the expression “mind-f . . ked”. It refers to that explosion that we sometimes feel...

I am making a series of buttons (the buttons you’d receive if someone wants you to vote for them, join their cause, or advertise; that you would wear on your shirt or pin to your bag) that...
