@SGUYBRAY @noraj_williams @KateMoncrief @KathrynVSantos @ezkolkovich I dream of a course where I can teach this beside _Wolf Hall_ for two completely distinct versions of More and Cromwell.

Hey Early Modernists: any of you ever teach Bolt’s _A Man for All Seasons_? I’d be curious to hear abt your approaches. Context: teaching in a study abroad course in London, accompanied by visits to Tower of London & Hampton Court Palace.

My review of the Globe's _Midsummer_ from 2023 is out now in @ShaxBull. It wasn't a production I loved, but it had some really great elements, and central among them was the wonderful Francesca Mills. https://t.co/H9UiQX8EY7
