People I like staring at

People who write about theatre

Lyn Gardner's Guardian Blog
I should imagine if you are here then you already know Lyn Gardner so there is no real need to point you in her direction. She is the best.


Exeunt Magazine The website most close to the experience of meeting up and talking intelligently about theatre with people who want to talk about theatre. You can also hear real conversations on new podcast Pursued by a bear.

People who make Theatre

Devoted and Disgruntled
An online resource which probably doesn't make much sense unless you have been to one of Improbable Theatre events, but a good place to see the range of discussions and debates surrounding theatre and tap in to the cultural zeitgeist.

Theatre Bristol
I live in Brighton and apart from the hen parties and terrible art, I am very happy there. However I am tempted to move to Bristol for two reasons. 1) Bristol has a mayor who appears to permanantly wear red trousers and 2) Theatre Bristol, a fantastic resource for all those who make and enjoy theatre, with listings, interviews, reviews and networking opportunities.

People interested in people

Rookie
I love everything about Rookie; I love 'Ask a Grown Up', I love collages, I love the way they talk about things I wish I had been able to talk about when I was a teenager. A great resource for all adults and teenagers still seeking answers to all those big questions like 'Is it normal to have nipple hair?'

Feltron
If looking at infographics, with their simple visual interpretations of complicated statistics, make you feel like all the muscles in your brain can finally relax, then you will love this site. Each year Nicholas Felton publishes an annual report which tracks his actions and interactions with various people he meets to reveal the various layers of self he inhabits throughout the year. Beautiful, intricate and eye opening.
