We're keen to keep @B4Shakes site lively after its recent glow-up, so looking for guest posts for the site: works in progress, research insights, &c. Especially eager to hear from doctoral and early career researchers! Do share the word.

Galatea was written in the 1580s and performed in front of Queen Elizabeth I. Now, this tale of love, joy and the importance of welcoming outsiders will be introduced to new audiences as a resonant story for modern times.
