I always enjoy the Toronto Fringe, but "Iris (says goodbye)" truly deserves the title of Fringe magic -- a wonderfully dynamic musical, polished to a high shine. Not to be missed!

Hi folks! Would any early modern journal editors be interested in a review of the Kenneth Branaugh "King Lear" or the Kit Connor/Rachel Ziegler "Romeo and Juliet"? Two fascinating interpretations!

What a wonderful reading from Red Bull Theatre -- Barabas came to life as a sympathetic scapegoat before he descended into being a cartoonish villain, and that gave him a nice complexity.
I'm sitting in the one-night-only Red Bull Theater reading of #JewofMalta, wondering how many familiar faces from #SAA2025 I'm about to see!

Friends, does anyone have access to Shakespeare Studies 52 and would be willing to send me a pdf of my article? They published my NextGenPlen paper on "personation" from two years ago and I'm keen to relive those glory days! #Shax2025 #RenSA2025 #RSA2025

This brings me so much joy -- the Topsell is wonderful and the artistry of these animals is amazing
Today we got to visit the rare book that this project is inspired by! Anyway, I have now paraded the little winged dragon past his own illustration in Topsell's History of Four Footed Beasts!

Over the holidays, a friend in another field asked me whether I thought "Coriolanus" or "Titus Andronicus" was more obscure. Of course, the questions abound -- obscure to whom, when? -- but I'm curious what you all think.

Hey if you’re, say, an author who has a shit ton of recorded interview and video material online, you should warn your parents/partners/etc about this.
