@c_perry I prefer maintaining a continuous low level anxiety ;)

Staging race and diversity in Shakespearean Theatre was brilliant. Some highlights: @DrFarahKC introduces the program by noting that this is conversation that we are not having as to the apparatus of the theater, beyond casting. 1/

[Shakespearean Review @shakes_review]

@DrDadabhoy @ProfKFH @The_Globe I hear that, but I'll share my concern: what message does it send to have a king played by an actor of color usurped by a white one? Maybe cast Henry differently...

[Ambereen Dadabhoy 🪬 @DrDadabhoy]

SA: also notes that diversity is different from representation. Diversity might mean that a south Asian plays a store owner and a Black man a gang member. That’s not interesting. Representation is letting actors of color inhabit more than stereotypes. 17/ @The_Globe #ShakeRace

[Ambereen Dadabhoy 🪬 @DrDadabhoy]

Erika Lin asks us to consider our own identity positions as we watch the performance. What is the difference between spectacle and identification when you’re watching an actor of color? Sit with your reaction, think about it. @The_Globe #ShakeRace 13/

[Ambereen Dadabhoy 🪬 @DrDadabhoy]

Erika Lin: we are talking about race and racism & that might make people uncomfortable. You need to sit with that discomfort and think about it. @The_Globe #ShakeRace 3/

Today at the Rose in 1594 - oh dear me no. A dismally small audience for the play about Cutlack the bombastic Dane. Is this just a period of bad weather or is London tiring of Henslowe’s plays? Either way, things need to improve next week! 😬 https://t.co/QHGI6k4z6c #elizabethan

Today at the Rose in 1594 - after yesterday’s excitement, more bad news today: Galiaso is just not clicking with the audience. https://t.co/glFuX9zMuu #elizabethan #theatre

This Stephen Greenblatt story is pretty outstanding.

Today at the Rose in 1594 - a new play called "Tasso's Melancholy"! It's about the lovesick madness of the poet Tasso and may have involved the drinking of ink and the use of ordure to write poems! Read more at https://t.co/swcazP4XXv #otd #elizabethan #theatre #tasso #melancholy
