There's now just over 3 weeks to get your abstracts in for this CFP 😱

It was really nice to meet 3 of my new colleagues at the Institute for English Studies (SAS London) yesterday. Grabbed myself a desk by the window in the IES fellows room. Tempt me not, ice cream van. (Also £3 for a tiny square of millionaires shortbread. London prices eh 😮)

🗣 Public History Talks - Open for Booking! When we think about the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, we often think of purpose-built London playhouses like the Globe. Yet much of the disruptive, political energy of the professional playing companies was forged on the road.

Erm, there's someone on ebay selling a second hand copy of my book for nearly £300. Why would anyone actually do that when it is in stock at Routledge? 🤷‍♂️

🎟️Our Lord Mayor's Show might have sold out (you can still join the waiting list, you might be lucky) but there's still our upcoming Christmas Revels! It's going to be a day of short plays plus panels. 2 more tickets sold this morning! Book now, while stocks last! www.ticketsource.com/beyondshakes...

For anyone into deep classic rock lore, I think I nearly got Jeremy Spencered this afternoon while on a walk in Shirley Park 😶

Another article from the forthcoming special issue of "Shakespeare" I'm guest editing on "Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton" is now published!

My article on Winter’s Tale and The Lady’s Tragedy is online! It’s the idea that made it out of the group chat: this article builds on conversations I had @memsunikent.bsky.social about bodies in performance, & in the #WTWatchParty during COVID lockdowns, & now it’s out in the world! #EarlyModern

After a pause after we got our exhibition up and running, and waiting to get some more research support, my work with Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall resumes this autumn, starting with the first entries in a new series of research talks! Booking opens soon! #Museums #PublicLecture #Engagement

Today, I had the chance to explore digital techniques for enhancing my research with Stratford's guildhall. There's so much potential for bringing the upper guildhall's theatrical past to life. This is just a crude mock-up, but I've been speaking with artists and VR experts to see what we can do!

As I'm in the early stages of planning something a bit more immersive around my regional theatre project (hush hush at the moment 🤫), I'm diving back into my earlier forays into the subject. Here's me discussing my early work on the Beyond Shakespeare podcast last year! youtu.be/EAbGPLIdNF0?...

Some photos from my previous public history lecture at St. Mary's Guildhall Coventry, discussing all things Shakespeare, Midlands theatre, and mystery plays!

Following the overwhelming response I had to my call for contributors to the public history/humanities workshop I'm organising, the funding application has just been sent off! Fingers crossed. Can't wait to (hopefully) have the opportunity to discuss public writing, museums, broadcasting & more 👏

Book milestone no. ???: coming soon* on Cambridge Core! *feb 2027 www.cambridge.org/core/books/m...

Had a fun discussion today about my work on theatre and Coventry's guildhall with someone from Historic Coventry Trust today. Small world feeling to learn they found me through my previous talk at St. Mary's Guildhall. A second talk from me is coming up in November, don't you know 😉

Publication #CfP: "Unconventional Stages: Exploring Non-Purpose-Built Theatre Spaces in Early Modern England", chapter titles and proposals to @drwillgreen.bsky.social by 19 October 2026 rensoc.org.uk/announcement... #Skystorians

Folk who have organised conferences or workshops before: where is a good place to source delegate name badges? Bonus points if they make environmentally friendlier ones.

Let my CFP go forth into the world! Naturally, if you know me, you'll know my own research has focused on guildhalls for a couple of years now - but I've long wanted a book that considers other "theatres" of the Renaissance. So please, come and join me in proposing chapters 🙏

Ahead of launching the actual CFP, thought I'd give a little preview of a thing I'm doing 🫢

Brilliant and important topic and yes I know I'm biased but it is

I'm doing another public history talk for St. Mary's Guildhall on 1st Nov - this time looking at touring theatre in cities like Coventry and the impact of the 1592-4 London plague. Tickets £15/£12.50, including full entry to the guildhall 🙂 stmarysguildhall-tickets.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

The weather may be blisteringly hot today, but finally getting to open these was a very cool moment 😎📖
