Congratulations on this stunning discovery, @matthewsteggle.bsky.social !

The Shakspaires of Trinity Lane: A Possible Shakespeare Life-Record Hereford Cathedral Library holds a fragmentary seventeenth-century letter addressed to a ‘Mrs Shakspaire’, concerning her husband’s dealings with a fatherless apprentice named John Butte or Butts. ...

Delighted to say that my article, "The Shakspaires of Trinity Lane: A Possible Shakespeare Life-Record" is now fully published and open-access! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thoroughly enjoyed A Streetcar Named Desire at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield with our A-Level students today. Fantastic production.

So lucky to have entered the queue at 4439 and managed to get tickets, but the bizarre, almost gamified, process of frantically clicking for available tickets was draining. #BacktotheBeginning #BlackSabbath

Devastating news. A young life taken away and so many other lives unimaginably affected.

I genuinely tried to convince my teen daughter recently to watch it with me (she hasn’t seen it), as I want to watch it again. It’s a beautiful show.

Looking forward to getting some ideas from this. #alwayslearning #edusky

Currently reading #Butter by #AsakoYuzuki. Really enjoying this so far and I’ve never read anything that has made me feel so hungry (particularly for rice, soy sauce and butter). 🧈

I thought this was beautifully written. I couldn’t help but think of the amount of extracts I could use in future lessons whilst I was reading it.

If you’re reading this, you deserve a new book.

This is a poster from a Korean play of Macbeth and I am loving everything about it.

I love this and I need to tell myself this more often. I’ve always looked up to the amazing things (such as general advice and resources) that teachers share on social media but it can knock your confidence at the same time.

There are some brilliant things people are doing and sharing on social media, but it can sometimes lead to feelings of inadequacy. Don't let it. If you're turning up at school doing the business in the classroom you're having the biggest impact. Remember this.

I’m so excited for this! FREE CPD for anyone who wants to hear about approaches to writing!
