_Shakespeare_ doesn't yet have a reviewer for this summer's _Hail to the Thief_ www.rsc.org.uk/hamlet-hail-.... If you sit in the Hamlet/Radiohead Venn diagram overlap, do by all means drop me a line at my institutional address (see sheffield.ac.uk/english/peop...).
About the play | Hamlet Hail to the Thief | Royal Shakespeare Company
Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album collide for a feverish experience that fuses theatre, music, and movement.

So I've got this article which should be coming out in the journal _Shakespeare_ any moment now, but in the meantime - Briefly, it's about a C17 letter preserved in the binding waste of a book now in Hereford Cathedral.
