Tomorrow I’m going to see a Shakespeare play and it’s also Garrick’s birthday. I literally don’t know which medallion to wear. 🤔

My book has been rated ‘Essential’ by Choice, journal of the American Library Association, and described as ‘deeply researched and astutely written’, ‘a delight for both eye and mind’. Who am I to disagree??

Glad to see the RSC has stopped calling School for Scandal a “Restoration comedy”. We now get the baggier term “Comedy of manners”. Don’t @ me. 😅

5 June 1638: Philip Massinger's play 'The King & the Subject' is licensed #otd after Charles I had read it while at Newmarket, insisting on changes, probably due to allusions to forced loans (BM)

A young man with a wide-brimmed, a large collar around the neck and a saber. He points to his unfaithful lover who is standing in the distance with another man. Wenceslaus Hollar, 1646 (Rijksmuseum) Bit of a fashion disaster in that mix?

"Aside from various biographical dictionary appearances, Cooper’s book is the first mainstream publication to tackle the lives of Elizabeth Barry and Anne Bracegirdle, and to put them into context." #Actresses of #17thCentury #London #Theatre amazon.co.uk/Actresses-Rest…
