Great to now have a physical copy of Authenticity and Adaptation, ed. Christina Wilkins (@stinaface.bsky.social). Looking forward to exploring the rest of the volume!

The front cover of Authenticity and Adaptation, edited by Christina Wilkins. The cover is red and black, and features a photo of a white porcelain face/mask on the left and a skull on top of a pile of books with white roses in front of them on the right.

Have you seen Anyone But You? Do you have 1,000-1,500 words to say about it, particularly as a modern-day rom-com adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing? If so, I'd love a review for Shakespeare Bulletin. Reply, or email SBperformance@marybaldwin.edu, if you're interested! 🎞️🙂 youtu.be/S61xB-rE770?...

Sad news. Highly recommend Blakemore's 'Arguments with England', a vivid memoire of his years as a young Australian actor making it in postwar Britain. An astute observer of the period who wrote beautifully. Michael Blakemore was a superb craftsman of theatre www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/d...
