Delighted (and a bit starstruck) to hear @OldFortunatus speak about the First Folio for a very appreciative Shakespeare B Trust staff audience today! Could definitely have listened to the 10hr page-by-page director's cut version. And a lovely mention of Dr Chris Laoutaris' book too!

Name for a new #folk band needed! All (yes, all) suggestions welcome. Current contenders include Ethel and the Aardvark, Gleowdream, and Funeral Kazoo.

Had a blast doing some Shakespeare B Trust presenting work today for #ShakespeareShorts! Between-takes dance routine sadly not included

Which #Shakespeare lines would you love to hear as song lyrics? I'm prepping a new songwriting workshop called Lyrical Shakespeare for SBT Education, and I'm curious about everybody's favourites. Feel free to share/retweet!

Happy "Birth"/DeathDay, #Shakespeare. I'm looking back at my article on the 2016 commemorations and wondering how much has changed in 2023, a year more focused on 'corpus' than 'corpse'. (Let me know if you'd like a copy: I promise the article is less pretentious than the title)

JOB KLAXON - Drama Education Assistants needed! The SBT Education team at Shakespeare B Trust is expanding its pool of freelance actors/education practitioners for performance workshops. Please apply, or share with anyone who might be interested! Contact me for more info.

Final nudge on this for any deadline surfers out there - apply to join our Shakespeare B Trust Drama Education Assistant freelance team by midnight tonight! (drop me a DM for more info/a PDF of the info)

I'm doing a free online talk on music in the First Folio this Wednesday at 5 for Shakespeare B Trust - come and have a listen if you're interested! Yes, there will be some actual music. shakespeare.org.uk/visit/whats-on… (One day I'll learn how to do self-promotion...)

Thanks to everybody who came to this and to Paul_Edmondson for having me! Very glad we managed to fit in discussion of Middleton's singing cat. A recording should be available soon if you'd like to listen back!

My Shakespeare B Trust Research Conversation, "Fixed and Frozen: Music in the First Folio" is now available for listening at your leisure! Let me know if you'd like the accompanying slide presentation to go with it 🎶🎶🎶 soundcloud.com/shakespearebt/…

It's my birthday and today I met a small and amicable beaver. Hope this brings you a little slice of joy, as it did me.

I am appalling at self-promotion and this site is a binfire, BUT... Come to our musical yurt this Sunday! Free fizz, original folky goodness, excellent craic. See you there. facebook.com/events/s/boe-j…

We are delighted to introduce the latest episode of our podcast series, an interview with the brilliant Brett Dean buzzsprout.com/1682221/137370…

Rescued from just outside Stratford-upon-Avon ten years ago. One of his claws is always slightly unsheathed, ready for any Montagues.

A fun morning filming some festive content at Shakespeare's Birthplace. Watch this space!

Emerging from a Decembery haze to share this, for all fans of Ben Jonson and ridiculous Christmas costumes: instagram.com/p/C1B-1QGMs6b/
