#OTD in 1849, the Astor Place or Opera House Riots take place, one of the deadliest civil disturbances in #NYChistory. It pitted the city’s aristocracy against its underclass, whose worlds converged on #AstorPlace. Opera was never the same again. More: villagepreservation.org/2016…

It might be too soon for some parents of high school seniors (don't say we didn't warn you), but we've got an episode on college admissions in Shakespeare's day. Once again, some characters and themes are truly timeless.

Tonight (Thursday) I'll be at Bedlam Books in Worcester (138 Green St.) doing a book talk from 6-7 pm! It's snowy + cold outside but cozy inside this awesome independent bookstore. Worcester area peeps, I would love to see you there!

Today I noticed that the Folger's Shakespeare Library softcovers look suspiciously like cans of LaCroix. Here is a 🧵of pairings, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream and a lovely can of fizzy lemon water.

Ooooh! The fancy chair where Shakespeare may have sat during a drinking contest. @MuseumsAssoc @ShakespeareBT

This one's on how fake news isn't a new phenomenon. The case of King Richard III is proof that Shakespeare's stage was as powerful a political platform as social media is today.

ALT A white backdrop with an image in the centre, black tape at the top of the image attaching it to the background. The image has a background which is hues of red and orange. An ornate wooden chair is at the centre with intricate designs carved into it – and a person sat on it with their legs and feet resting on it too. They are wearing a white shirt and gold jewellery, holding a green apple and looking into camera confidently – a white crown graffitied above their head. White text reads: ‘Richard III’.
"Lady Macbeth's Fitbit and Other New Year's Resolutions" just dropped.
Happy Near Year, all!
