Did you know that our 2021 production of The Duchess of Malfi is available to stream on Digital Theatre+? It's an amazing resource for theatre obsessives and students Digital Theatre+ smpl.is/svfm

Still time to apply for this opportunity to investigate feminist theatre via the extraordinary OpenClaspTheatreCo archive, alongside me and @DrJoKRobinson English at Newcastle. Deadline tomorrow, details here northernbridge.ac.uk/media/sites/te…

Spending a quiet moment this Sunday ‘with’ a friend, @OldFortunatus. Some questions about ‘English studies in freefall’ that I’ll be mulling all day.

On the menu: Laura Jayne Wright (also @bsky) on The Duchess of Malfi, @pipmcgowan on The Great Gatsby, Ann Kennedy Smith on Virago Press, Nicola Onyett on Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf Society GB, Luke McBratney's exam tips, Alison Kelly on Ian McEwan & LP Hartley

This exciting call is open to teachers, librarians and archivists as well as academics!

Coming out in our June issue: Laura Jayne Wright (also @bsky) reviews Shelby Richardson's edition of Dekker, Ford & Rowley's The Witch of Edmonton (Broadview Press)

My mini-book Teaching Shakespeare and His Sisters: An Embodied Approach is now out - and available online for *free* for the next two weeks!! Please do share with any Shakespeare teachers (university or high school) who might be interested! ow.ly/avqE50OK3gS #teachertwitter

It’s here, even if you can only see and not hear it! Laura Jayne Wright (also @bsky) SOUND EFFECTS: HEARING THE EARLY MODERN STAGE is now in physical form with the Revels Plays Companion Library, and is very beautiful.

And so it begins! I am very, very, very very very excited about publishing whodunnits with Viper Books. Also for the academics who mostly read my tweets: I can promise you two murder mysteries in the next two years that might just resonate with major aspects of your lives...

Harsh.

So kind, Murray Gove (he/him) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 - it was a small part of an absolutely wonderful conference! I’m buzzing with new ideas :)

I've just realised I've written a section called ‘Full of sad thoughts and troubles’: Dating Henry VIII, and it's not what I meant but also maybe it's exactly what I meant.

I missed this while lost in a pile of mince pies but I'm very excited. Do take a look this week while it's free!

I wrote a play. With songs. It’s being shared at the Orange Tree. Pls come watch! 🍊

when I was in year 12, I used to buy the TLS to peer in at a world of literary conversations I dreamed of joining. Now, my book is reviewed there. Thanks Trisha Gupta for your generous words: the-tls.co.uk/regular-featur…

I'm always so grateful when writers are real like this, and reassured (and annoyed - I just wrote about Khalil's wonderful work in my little book).
