Today an absolute beauty is hot off the digital press. The rest of my afternoon will involve tea and @noffmag. Thank you to everyone involved. https://twitter.com/noffmag/status/1247547411335086089">https://twitter.com/noffmag/s...

NB: Would recommend downloading rather than viewing via the Drive link directly - the text is so much crisper and worth every one of the 42MB.

One cup of Earl Grey, three chocolate digestives and twenty & #39;low-fi hip-hop beats to read Noff to& #39; (and a micro-cry) later, all I can say is that this is a generous masterpiece of a love letter to the arts. It& #39;s brimming with hope. Here are two quotes:

"we, by nature, seek out narratives for reassurance and contemplation amidst upheaval" (Mark Smith, p6);
---
"we crave a sense of being heard and being seen, we want to feel like we are part of something" (Shanaé Chisholm, p3).

Spend an hour with @noffmag and you& #39;ll feel better. I want to write until I can& #39;t feel my fingers; make as much art as I can so I can knock down the doors of the theatres with it when they reopen.
---
I& #39;m going to keep coming back to this over the next few weeks.
Thank you.
