Second this - if you're interested, I've hosted an AAS conference before/am on the board and more than happy to chat!

The Sermon on the Mount, by Beryl Lewis, before 1965, 📸 by @ScottStrazzante

Ghost of Emily Brontë: am I remembered? Me: yes, a new Wuthering Heights is coming out now Brontë: and does it look good? Me: no, it looks like it will be an almost unbearable saga of confusingly sexy suffering for everyone involved Brontë: I love it.

Looking forward to AAS 2026 at Burman University, Canada & dreaming of what comes next... If your institution would like to host a future AAS conference, get in touch! Our Board considers applications throughout the year. Past conferences: www.adaptation.uk.com/category/aas...

i have been made aware that an Olympic figure skater for Kazakhstan does a Dune themed routine in a full stillsuit and he is now my personal hero

Wuthering Heights is not a romance. Obviously. But why do people think it is? So many reasons but... I'm going to be exploring how we got here through adaptation history in a workshop so come join me! www.eventbrite.com/cc/romancing...

With strong Shakespearean threads, Station Eleven haunted me as a novel during the pandemic. Have now finally caught up with the remarkable tv adaptation. What survives of us, what’s worth preserving .. care, theatre, music, love, togetherness … just need to find words to write about this now.

A stellar example of self-adaptation! We love to see it 💿🕺🎶🎞️

20 years ago today I started my blog & to quote Elton John "I'm still standing". Thanks to everyone who has read, commented or shared anything I've done in the last 2 decades. Here's an infographic I made to celebrate.

"I hope the skeptics have been satisfied by my 'puppets are uncanny' argument, because now I have to mount my third point and achieve the hat trick that will seal my grand yuletide theory: Kermit the Frog is the only performer to ever truly embody Bob Cratchit."

Green's image provides an intriguing reinterpretation of John Leech's original illustration, "The Last of the Spirits". Green is slightly more faithful to Dickens's text in representing Scrooge clutching at the Spirit's robe, but the miser's name is not evident on the gravestone as in Leech.

not to let down this fine academic organization, but this announcement had me at killer squirrels
