At Jackson's Lane today doing auditions for @thepantaloons.bsky.social Hamlet!

Spent a lovely afternoon at the leafy University of Buckingham, talking to English Literature postgraduates about the performance history of Troilus and Cressida (what else?). Here’s John Barton directing Patrick Stewart and Sebastian Shaw in the play in 1968.

Had a great afternoon at the Shakespeare Institute talking about homosexuality in postwar productions of Troilus and Cressida. Here are Charles Gray as Achilles, Jeremy Brett as Patroclus and Paul Rogers as Pandarus in Tyrone Guthrie’s 1956 production at the Old Vic.

My book has a cover! A history of Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida in performance, from John Dryden's Restoration adaptation to the rediscovery of the play in the twentieth century.

Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
And call upon my soul within the house…

A statistical breakdown of the lyrics to We Wish You a Merry Christmas…

Feeling very Christmassy after seeing @thepantaloons.bsky.social perform A Christmas Carol at the Southern Maltings, Ware. Catch it if you can!

Arrived in the office today to discover a lovely present from my dissertation student. The dissertation was an eco-feminist reading of flowers in Shakespeare, so this is right on theme! Absolutely made my day.
