It’s not that we dislike Will Shakespeare, it’s that he gets plenty of stage time. His contemporaries don’t, and some of them are 🔥🔥🔥

This wildly ambitious project to consider for performance every single British play text from the earliest to 1642 (except the ones by that guy from Stratford) is not supported by any research body or cultural institution. It’s all done by volunteers, and supported by patrons. We’ve found some real gems, and we have the skills to stage entire seasons of them.

"For there it is, crackt in an hundred shivers..." My article "Destroying Things on the Early Modern English Stage" is now available in the journal Early Modern Literary Studies. This is part of a (long-delayed) project on theatrical failure in early modern England. #shakespeare #earlymoderndrama #theaterhistory #theater #theaterprops #performancestudies #theatercostume #theatricalfailure https://journals.shu.ac.uk/index.php/EMLS/article/view/315

It's an honor to join the advisory board for "Early Theatre"--a journal that has played a formative and important (and, frankly, enjoyable) role in my development as a scholar of early modern theater history. I'm especially excited to be joining the board as part of such an intellectually strong, diverse, and vibrant group of colleagues. #theaterhistory #theatre #earlymoderndrama #humanities #academic #theatrehistory #histodons #drama https://earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre/issue/view/483

See ya later, folks. I’m off to Faversham to murder a rich man called Thomas Arden. A fellow called Greene is paying my friend Shakebag and me to kill him over a property dispute.
