In "Measure for Measure," Shakespeare’s setting of 16th-century Vienna was a stand-in for his own London. @austintichenor.bsky.social writes that recent productions updated to the 20th century give fresh historical specificity to the play’s ethical dilemmas. www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

Happy 60th Anniversary to the greatest franchise of all time,and to the handful of folks I’ve met responsible for its greatness, especially David Goodman, who briefly tried to make me canon. #llap #StarTrek @dennehye.bsky.social

I’ve been successfully keeping it a secret from you for 1,031 weeks. Transcripts are available going back a few years on Apple Podcasts, and on YouTube for just this year.

William Shakespeare’s plays—and plays and musicals inspired by him—are always a feature at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world’s largest performing arts festival, and this year is no exception. @austintichenor.bsky.social explores the Shakespearean offerings: www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

Did you know writing a play and describing a play are two different skillsets? IT'S TRUE! Playwright Austin Tichenor talks about the challenge of describing his new play PURITANS ahead of its world premiere this September. HEAR HERE (or wherever you get your podcasts)! @americantheatre.org

Describing The Play - Reduced Shakespeare Company

A ghost story...but not. A time-travel tale...but not. Describing Austin Tichenor's new play Puritans accurately and intriguingly reveals that writing the play and describing the play are two complete...

For what it’s worth (which may, admittedly, be nothing), I realized recently that Leopoldstadt has the same ending as Arcadia, except for the listed fates of the ancestors.

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.
