*New Publication!* Lovely end to the week - 'John Gielgud on Air: 65 Years of Performing Shakespeare on Radio' out now in Shakespeare Survey. It shows that not only was he a leading stage actor, but he was an audio drama pioneer too. If you have access, here's the link: doi.org/10.1017/9781...

A couple of weeks ago, I had a great time at #IpswichBookFestival This is me talking about Shakespeare's Henry V - the clip starts just after I mentioned Laurence Olivier's 1944 film. Coincidentally Henry V was my #Shakespeare play choice for October #ShakespeareOnTheRadio 💀🎧 #RadioDrama #AudioDrama

Delighted to have an article in the latest edition of Intermission from @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social 'Desperately Seeking Betty' features some new research into Egyptian sand-dancers Wilson, Keppel & Betty - plus a previously unseen picture of the original Betty.

My chapter 'Shakespeare for Free: The Accessibility and Politics of Audio Shakespeare in Anglo-American Contexts' is out now in the book Translating Shakespeare Access and Mediation, edited by the brilliant pairing of Duncan Lees & @earlymodlancs.bsky.social Here's the link: doi.org/10.1007/978-...

Take pleasure where you can find it. You never know what's coming down the pipe to stop you enjoying things.

You can see another monthly #Shakespeare recommendation on my Instagram - or below. The 25th of Oct is St Crispin's Day so I chose Henry V (although I'm actually more interested in whether a diplomatic marriage can also be a love match). #ShakespeareOnTheRadio 💀🎧 #Shakespeare #RadioDrama #AudioDrama

I had a brilliant afternoon teaching a workshop at @writerscentre.bsky.social Norwich with an excellent group of creative writers. Our theme was dialogue, and how what characters say may not be exactly what they mean. Everyone worked incredibly hard. I wish we could've spent longer on this topic 💙📚
