From apprentice to master playwright: Shakespeare learns his craft.

Everybody knows #Shakespeare.
Beneath the surface, much of Shakespeare’s work surrounds ideas of gender and queerness.
Welcome, @willtosh.bsky.social as we discuss his book 'The Hidden Queer Lives of William Shakespeare' @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

Enjoyed chatting to @mrnicklevine.bsky.social for this fun piece on Edward II

What fun to go to the movies with Jason and get AWFULLY nitpicky about Shakespeare in Love - a film which I still adore, despite everything.
