Today’s update from the front: a footnote that is actually in Yassified Shakespeare (book MS gets turned in Monday!)

In doing final MS prep for Yassified Shakespeare, we've been leaning heavily on the assistance of my extraordinary RA. Today, he gave us one of the highest compliments we could receive:
Screenshot of a comment from MS word by Lóri Fejes that says "the number of times I mumble under my breath (with utmost respect) "I cannot with these two""

Are you PUMPED to see how this footnote made its way into academic discourse!? Get ready!
Screenshot of a footnote reading: "It is not. Indiana Jones' name is Henry Walton Jones Jr."

Did I spend a chunk of yesterday making a murder board to visualize and prep my tenure case? ….maybe.

In other news: COVER REVEAL! The next book is on its way! I was so lucky to be able to edit this collection with the incomparable Valerie Clayman Pye. This was the only image I wanted for the cover, and we were ECSTATIC to be able to use it.

It is totally normal to spend a weekend converting your book into an epic bespoke leather-bound tome of awesomeness, right? @sunypress.bsky.social made me an amazing cover, but this one is also pretty cool.

Things I have said to my cat and maybe also to my students: “dude, do not put the sword in your mouth. Stop chewing on my sword.”

Tfw: the Globe knows you’re coming and puts out the sign specifically for you.
A woman in a blue skirt, white tee shirt, and black jacket is standing in the gift shop at Shakespeare’s globe. She is holding a large sword and standing next to a sign that says “no sword-fighting in the shop.”

Whenever I see the orangutan in charge and his chief unelected officer this is legitimately all I can think of.

Typo of the day: "Master Yoda, famously voiced by American puppeteer Frank, speaks in Shakespeare’s original with similarly confusing-sounding grammar."

The paperback of Theatres of Value drops TOMORROW. I used to go see Shakespeare in Central Park when I was living the NY actor life. It took a few decades for me to ask what it was doing there, a question I researched to write chapter 5!
