An Early Modern Cue-Script of Mucedorus
A small manuscript document kept in the post-1500 western post-medieval manuscripts collection at St John’s College, Oxford, is described in the catalogue
academic.oup.com
Excited to share my new N&Q piece on a previously unidentified cue-script fragment of Mucedorus!
Especially satisfying as it’s a play uniquely associated with regional and non-professional playing (and I’m writing a book about it): academic.oup.com/nq/advance-a...

As a pop-crazed youngster, I’m delighted to see the word ‘eighventies’ appearing in @davidstubbs.bsky.social’s wonderful history of British comedy ‘Different Times,’ which, in its own right, has frequently made me laugh during an unfunny week. Hits the spot whilst missing both my legs.

Really enjoyed Fantastic Four: First Steps.
But I wish I hadn’t known that the mile-tall Galactus, cosmic devourer or worlds, was played by Finchy from The Office.
It was a bit distracting.

This old post popped up in my FB memories.
It’s timely. I didn’t dream about bears last night, but I did hit send on my Mucedorus book this morning.
Thanks and apologies to anyone who’s heard me not shutting up about this play. I didn’t realise it’s been eleven years.
Also that might get worse.
