An Early Modern Cue-Script of Mucedorus
A small manuscript document kept in the post-1500 western post-medieval manuscripts collection at St John’s College, Oxford, is described in the catalogue
academic.oup.com
Excited to share my new N&Q piece on a previously unidentified cue-script fragment of Mucedorus!
Especially satisfying as it’s a play uniquely associated with regional and non-professional playing (and I’m writing a book about it): academic.oup.com/nq/advance-a...

Will never forget David Essex’s visceral, explosive performance as both Leontes and the Bear.

making up shit about books' condition and seeing if anyone notices. Outer couplets minorly flanged; interior verso carbuncles retwinked in claret flagolet, second volume lacking grundispiece; partially twatted, flaps with some visible degrotting, but overall a pesculent exemplar

For me, all pens are single-use pens.
If you put me in an empty room, sat me on a chair, gave me a pen, and told me that all I needed to do was hold onto the pen for an hour or I'd be dropped through a trapdoor into oblivion, you'd never see me again.

As a pop-crazed youngster, I’m delighted to see the word ‘eighventies’ appearing in @davidstubbs.bsky.social’s wonderful history of British comedy ‘Different Times,’ which, in its own right, has frequently made me laugh during an unfunny week. Hits the spot whilst missing both my legs.
