Back in November 2017, TIDE and @B4Shakes hosted a workshop exploring the diverse audiences of Elizabethan playhouses. Participants were treated to actors from @DolphinsBack performing a host of early modern texts from letters to plays to legal documents! #TIDEat5

The workshop brought to life early modern debates on identity and immigration, emphasising the emotional consequences behind legal strictures. Actors and audience alike engaged in thought-provoking discussions on how these debates resonate with England today. #TIDEat5

In her new article on Misfortunes of Arthur, @felicityebrown argues that early modern translation, allusion, and adaptation of classical and romance texts were political acts. muse.jhu.edu/article/842007

Why might Francis Bacon have been interested in writing a dumbshow for the 1587 Inns of Court play Misfortunes of Arthur? Why might he have helped to get the play printed? Find out from Lorna Wallace's new essay in Early Theatre 24.2. muse.jhu.edu/article/842003

Inns of Court drama, commercial plays, and court masques appeared in print in early modern England. What do these records of performance have in common & how do they differ? @RomolaNuttall investigates how in Early Theatre 24.2. muse.jhu.edu/article/842005

Misfortunes of Arthur (1587) can best be understood as a play that offers counsel about the importance and dangers of counsel, according to Lorna Wallace. Look for her work now in Early Theatre 24.2. muse.jhu.edu/article/842003

Shakespeare walking through London towards a theatre. To his right, a man on a horse, a disabled man asking for money, and a cat leaping from a window with a fish. To his left, two men fight on the street, a dung-cart wheels over the crossroads, and a woman throws rubbish from her window.

Way back in 2018 we decided to stage Misfortunes of Arthur @jamesthewallace @DolphinsBack @jtneuhauser @EarlyModernInns. It's been amazing editing a collection of essays on the revival for @early_theatre. I'm thrilled it's now (almost) out in the world!
