Your dashboard and the main site are both excellent resources - selfishly, just wish they started at 1600!

Highly enjoyable and informative presentation by Jose - great to see him again, albeit via zoom.

Definitely Barter Books in Alnwick Station; the Brazen Head in Burnham Market for the number of books I’ve bought there; and the Malvern Bookshop in Great Malvern - a great distraction when walking on the Malverns.

If Henslowe’s record is any indicator, The Blind Beggar of Alexandria, The Wise Man of West Chester, Comedy of Humours are a few.

Avignon, every time. And so easy by train. Go via Lille - no changing stations in Paris.

I’d be interested to think about any play’s very first audience - the actors who were going to perform it, hearing it read, judging if it would hang together and/or pointing out plot holes!

Reading in bed, every single night, 20 mins or so. My life isn’t so pressured now but when it was, it was the only way to wind down to sleep. Good luck!

So sorry for you - but also for the stupidity of the university in losing some of its greatest assets.

No risky footwear for me when mounting steps to the stage to receive my doctorate yesterday. Huge thanks to everyone who’s helped and supported me through the last 9 (yes, 9) years.

Currently training for this walk that starts in a couple of hours by eating pizza in the cloudy (yes, cloudy) garden. Hope it stays that way!
