'To be or not to be in Ukraine?' 'We WILL be'. Extraordinary presentations from Nataliya Torkut & Christina Wald at this week's International Shakespeare Conference @ShakesInstitute, bringing arts scholarship into humbling & urgent contact with a world-historical emergency.

For #ShakespeareSunday, I'm 👏@BraidwoodSchool & @unibirmingham's Signing Shakespeare performance of The Tempest @BirminghamRep. Exquisite & powerful, it would have deeply moved George Dawson who said 'everything to everybody' & tried to give Shakespeare away to all the City.

I was greatly honoured that Bruce Smith gave the first of the series of Oxford Wells Lectures. A fine scholar and endearing man. – at Stratford-Upon-Avon, England

It’s a not a hill to die on but I hate “Starmer will be another PM who’s gone to Oxford” takes. Doing your MA at Oxford - and your degree at Leeds - as first gen student from a working class family is not the same as a posh kid waltzing in to do PPE. Wild to pretend otherwise.
