Gave my own paper too, on the 1848 production of ‘Henry VIII’ by Macready, Phelps and Cushman, before Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Drury Lane.

Yesterday’s second day of the @OxfordConted @ContEdResearch was also excellent - in particular several very interesting papers on the 19th novel - the tragic heroine, evangelical novels and Willie Collin’s ‘Basil’.

This was the first play of our Stratford bank holiday marathon of plays. Beautiful and stylish production, extremely witty. Go and see it. If it transfers to the West End I will see it again!

When in doubt, wear pink 💖

Play 2 of 3 of the bank holiday weekend trip to Stratford - was beautiful and very moving, I had a tear in my eye towards the end.

[#WOMENSART @womensart1]

In 1900 painter Anna Merritt said of women artists-"The chief obstacle to a woman's success is that she can never have a wife. Just reflect what a wife does for an artist:Darns his stockings; keeps house,writes his letters. It is exceedingly difficult to be an artist without this"

‘This tremendous show highlights so many unjustly forgotten, belittled and misattributed works… What a seismic reckoning.’

We got a wonderful review from Jonathan Jones!
