Thank you @bars.bsky.social for sharing this short film on 'Drama Queens of the Georgian Period', performed at this year's @cambridgefestival.bsky.social. It was a joy to celebrate these extraordinary female theatre-makers by granting voices to their lives and works www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYgd...

So this was a great symposium, with a uniformly high standard of presentations across the board. It was wonderful to be in such generous scholarly company. And as a bonus, I finally met @kathylubey.bsky.social!
