There's now just over 3 weeks to get your abstracts in for this CFP 😱

Dr. Will Green @drwillgreen.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It was really nice to meet 3 of my new colleagues at the Institute for English Studies (SAS London) yesterday. Grabbed myself a desk by the window in the IES fellows room. Tempt me not, ice cream van. (Also £3 for a tiny square of millionaires shortbread. London prices eh 😮)

🗣 Public History Talks - Open for Booking! When we think about the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, we often think of purpose-built London playhouses like the Globe. Yet much of the disruptive, political energy of the professional playing companies was forged on the road.

Erm, there's someone on ebay selling a second hand copy of my book for nearly £300. Why would anyone actually do that when it is in stock at Routledge? 🤷‍♂️

On 11th and 25th October I’m delivering two public history talks for Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall. Drawing on our ongoing research partnership, I’ll be looking at what happened when touring players rolled into town, and how the political tensions of the age played out on a local stage.

Regional performances regularly took place under the watchful eye of local officials in buildings like guildhalls. Many of these forgotten "theatres" still survive, and it was in one of these, Stratford-upon-Avon's Guildhall, that Shakespeare likely had his first encounter with the players.

After a pause after we got our exhibition up and running, and waiting to get some more research support, my work with Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall resumes this autumn, starting with the first entries in a new series of research talks! Booking opens soon! #Museums #PublicLecture #Engagement

Today, I had the chance to explore digital techniques for enhancing my research with Stratford's guildhall. There's so much potential for bringing the upper guildhall's theatrical past to life. This is just a crude mock-up, but I've been speaking with artists and VR experts to see what we can do!

As I'm in the early stages of planning something a bit more immersive around my regional theatre project (hush hush at the moment 🤫), I'm diving back into my earlier forays into the subject. Here's me discussing my early work on the Beyond Shakespeare podcast last year! youtu.be/EAbGPLIdNF0?...

Following the overwhelming response I had to my call for contributors to the public history/humanities workshop I'm organising, the funding application has just been sent off! Fingers crossed. Can't wait to (hopefully) have the opportunity to discuss public writing, museums, broadcasting & more 👏

Dr. Will Green @drwillgreen.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Had a fun discussion today about my work on theatre and Coventry's guildhall with someone from Historic Coventry Trust today. Small world feeling to learn they found me through my previous talk at St. Mary's Guildhall. A second talk from me is coming up in November, don't you know 😉

Dr. Will Green @drwillgreen.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

That sounds like an acceptable approach. (I found conference name badges made out of seeds that can literally be buried after the event and felt inspired and then saw the price and thought with terror how to explain it in justification of resources 😭)

Folk who have organised conferences or workshops before: where is a good place to source delegate name badges? Bonus points if they make environmentally friendlier ones.

Let my CFP go forth into the world! Naturally, if you know me, you'll know my own research has focused on guildhalls for a couple of years now - but I've long wanted a book that considers other "theatres" of the Renaissance. So please, come and join me in proposing chapters 🙏

Naturally have to pay tribute to my forebears - mine is the most recent in a line of Middleton monographs that, coincidentally, we all seem to have independently started working on around the same time! (I've previously had the pleasure of reviewing both Mark's and Eric's)
