It's #AprilFoolsDay! Who's your favourite Shakespeare fool? Anna's is Feste in Twelfth Night, especially in his 'friends vs foes' duologue with Olivia.

This is what happens when you decide to do some spring cleaning in the attic during lockdown... Our Collections team have only gone and discovered Shakespeare's long-lost play, Love's Labour's Won! bit.ly/GlobeLostPlay

Playing #SonnetBingo @LiveCanon and the first reading was number 15! Felt so chuffed that it was one I recognised from our archive. 😊 @JJenniferJordan @sonnetsisters

The version of Richard II we will never see.

Replying to @UKShakespeare
Shakespeare depicts Richard's Queen as an adult, but Isabella was just six when she was married to Richard, 29. After Richard's fall, Henry IV wanted her to marry his son (later Henry V). She refused, and returned to France. She died in childbirth, aged 19.

Gorgeous reminder that #Shakespeare IS FOR EVERYONE, and IS ALREADY ACCESSIBLE. Those trying to gatekeep the works from us ruffians, commoners and ladies have always failed. Interpret at Will!

Shakespeare for All and All for Shakespeare

Shakespeare for All and All for Shakespeare

Earlier today I sat down at my London desk firmly determined to finally write an intelligent article about how to perform Shakespeare (mostly on Zoom). As you might have surmised from the title of...

My jokes are so convoluted that 8 months on I have zero clue what I was aiming for. I can only hope that in 400 years' time actors will be equally baffled and, in my absence, consider them genius, analysing and performing them one at a time. ~ A

In Elizabethan England, the word 'Nothing' was slang for female genitalia. The title of the Shakespeare play 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a double entendre.

Currently working on a Shakespeare-themed book for the self-help market, 'Romeo and Juliet's Guide to Life'. It's pretty short.

#Shakespeare #Marlowe Fun fact: This line from Marlowe's Faustus (left) is one of Anna's all-time favourites, and continues "I'd give them all for Mephistophilis". Get yourself a bae who looks at you the way Faustus looks at this soul-conning demon.
