So excited to drop one at this event alongside so many wonderful speakers. My paper is a postcolonial reading of Carry On Abroad, focusing on the performance of racial and gender stereotypes. I just hope nobody squashes my itinerary... – at Bay Horse, England

Fantastic news that @ForcedEnts Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare is now available online forcedentertainment.com/comp…. It's inspired work and a terrific teaching resource. Thanks to @tony_white_ for introducing me to the company.
What do footy fans and academics have in common? Both tend to be critical of the REF – at North West, England

ALT Two wing-backed red velvet armchairs positioned slightly apart from each other on a wooden floor. A man (left) wearing nightclothes sits in one chair, his left arm outstretched, his index finger pointed. A woman sits on the arm of the other chair, wearing bedclothes. She holds her pregnant belly with her left hand, her right arm stretched towards the man's, also pointing her index finger. Their fingers almost touch. The backdrop behind them appears to be of stitched together skin, a shadowy figure in the centre. Green and white text across the top of the image.

What a fucking life led. Truly. Back when the Met stormed into the RVT for it being a gay bar, all wearing rubber gloves to “protect” themselves during the HIV crisis, Paul O’Grady was on stage as Lily and immediately quipped “Looks like we have help with the washing up!” Iconic.
In tribute to the late great Hans-Thies Lehmann, I've shared memories of his teaching & complied some of his wonderful bon mots from the seminar room. His warmth, humour & fervent belief in the political power of theatre shine throughout these gems 💛🖤:

Extremely sad news about Hans-Thies Lehmann, one of the most generous academics I’ve known. His book Postdramatic Theatre has had an outsized influence on anything I’ve had to say or even thought about theatre. He’ll be missed. A thread on his work and legacy 1/

Saddened to my core to hear this news. One of the most inspirational scholars and generous humans ever to be. A decade on I still check my notes from his MA seminars at Kent when I need a morale boost. RIP Hans-Thies, your work will continue to excite, provoke, and inspire ❤️
