‘Visible Bullets: Shakespeare at the Ukrainian Front and Beyond’ considers the vitality, but also the limitations, of theatre and Shakespearean tragedy, expanding to consider examples from WWI and the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Does Shakespeare matter at the frontline of war? My new - and, sadly, still timely - article on Shakespeare’s use in Ukraine during Russia’s ongoing invasion has just been published open access in Humanities.

Thanks, Darren! Hope you’re well too!

My (long!) article on ‘Shakespeare and War’ for Oxford Bibliographies has just been published!

It covers Shakespeare’s time through centuries of reception history & I hope is useful for research on this multifaceted, diverse & (alas) timely topic
