Investigating civic buildings and regional theatre in the early modern Midlands. Began life as an AHRC IAA project at the University of Nottingham. New exhibition at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall opening September! Posts by @drwillgreen.bsky.social.
In the meantime, why not check out my feature on the project in the November issue of History Today? Available online for magazine subscribers 🙂

Howdy! Haven't posted in a while. We have some exciting plans coming up in the new year. Meeting tomorrow with a digital artist to embark upon a new innovative way of interpreting this research for public audiences that, crucially, respects the Grade I listed space.

Funding, please be forthcoming 🙏

Heritage Open Days 2025 came to an end yesterday - which means it was one year ago that I was doing a series of talks about our project at the Guild Chapel in Stratford-upon-Avon.

This is a momentous Friday - it's up and running! 😄

The fruits of my 2024-5 Nottingham postdoc, transforming an underused space at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall.

(The only permanent exhibition on early modern drama beyond Shakespeare, within an authentic early modern performance space.)

Thank you to all who have followed this account so far! This project grew out of an AHRC-funded knowledge exchange partnership with Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall + the University of Nottingham in 2024-5. For this, we curated a new interpretation of an underutilised space - opening very soon!

I'm not quite sure what I plan to do with it yet, but ahead of my new exhibition fully opening at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall later in the year, I've set up a BlueSky for the Travelling Players Project! Check out @travellingplayers.bsky.social for what I hope will be some exciting updates 🙂
